87 xt 1vj how does the seat mount on??

sounds like a dumb question but my xt came as abox of bits and after rebuilding it im unsure as to how the seat in retained on the bike.
hook at the front obviously hooks into the frame and then my seat has a metal bracket on each side at the back.there are two helet lock type assemblys on the frame, but both of these dont seem to line up?

presume you dont need a spanner to unbolt the back end of it? and you use the key to unlock the back of the seat??

it just doesnt seem to line up right.

if anyone could post a picture that would be great.....:confused1:

On my 89 1VJ there is a Tang on the undernath of the saddle that hooks on to a bracket below the Tank.
The rear of the saddle has 2 arms with holes that lock on to the frame with a helmet lock on side and a push buttom on one side.
If you still stuck I can take a picture.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
