Mounted the front seat bracket and clip onto the seat. The very front threaded hole was slightly buggered. Took a 1/4 X 20 course tap and took care of that little problem by chasing the thread.
Here you can see a better view, bracket is underneath in the dull black. The clip, in glossy black, is on top on the right. I had to make a compromise on the four bolts for the front. Factory spec bolts are 1/4 - 20 X 5/8 with 1/4 lock washers and 1/4 X 1/2 X 1/16 flat washers. Flat washers are supposed to be only on the two bolts on the left of the picture, but me being me I put them on all four.
I could only find 1/4 - 20 X 3/4 for these; don't think it will be any big issue and I sprung for stainless steel washers.
This is the rear mount for the seat and it calls for a 1/4 - 20 X 1 bolt, a 9/32 X 1 3/8 X 1/16 washer plus a 1/4" lock washer. Bolt is correct but had to use a 1/4 fender washer. None of these fasteners are parkerized . I could get a kit to parkerize my own bolts but maybe that's in the future.
Hopefully tomorrow I can remove the solo seat and luggage rack to get this baby mounted.
I'm stoked about this as only fellow riders can have a clue to. Happy tail bones ahead.
