    image.jpg I got the bobber seat off of my bike but can't figure out how the original seat attaches. There's no hardware underneath/on the seat. Besides the small tab that slides under the bottom lip of the fuel tank. Certainly there should be something else?

    back of seat

    the chain box has a lock problem is it fits the basic key style for your bike A,B,C,
    any A key will open the A lock
    boxes on ebay most sold with out key lock some have straps
    I think Chacal sells a replacment lock to fit your key you will need the letter code on key or bottom of ignition switch

    sent you the bolts
    I learned a tip from BigFitz in his tach seal replacement thread on cleaning parts 15-20 minutes in lemon juice (the squeeze bottle type) makes bolts shine like new. then rinse them off. Try it on the strap bolts.
    if you feel you must pay for them you could donate a couple of bucks to this web site. button is on lower right of page. Every little bit helps keep the site going.
