you lost me on not wanting to drill thru the fender.
so the front lines up and the 2 "side bolts for driver seat" line up but what do you do to fit a one piece at the back or passenger area ?
The one piece seat has a chrome metal tab sticking out the back. On a S40 there is a bolt hole there to attach it (just in front of the brake light). But the 2 piece mounts differently. There is no hole at the same spot on the 2 piece bikes because, on the 2 piece seats, the rear seat hooks on a loop near the sissy bar, and bolts down in between the rear and front seat.
How did I fit it??? Aaaaaaa ...... the 1 piece and the combined two piece seats are
same lenght. Only issue is when removing the one piece to do work, I have to manipulate it around the sissy bar pad. I think that would be the same on a S40 with the optional sissy bar.
Do you need the bolt in the back of the 1 piece.... well depends. My 13 year old son is big enough that the rubber bumpers under the seat make it solid. He also has been dirt-biking for 5 years (or is it 6
). He is one of the best passengers I ever had. But.... if you have someone that squirms... you may want to bolt it on.
