That Dang Strap!
I needed to take the seat off a few days ago to put in the rear turn signal red light mod. After squeezing my hand in between the seat and frame to loosen the strap nut, I decided it was the last time. I threw the strap in a drawer and didn't put it back on. I'm tired of scatching up my hands trying to get that thing on and off! I know the seat police will be at my door any moment now. I thought about just fastening it under the seat without bolting it to the frame for looks. Then I thought it looked better without it anyway. I rarely ride two-up anyway. If I'm breaking any laws, I'm going to buy a solo seat.

Exactly........maybe his was adjusted a bit too tight? My seat slips right out.

No need to remove the strap to remove the seat.

RE: That Dang Strap!
I never put the strap on, because it was going to be an issue when switching between my solo and sundowner.

RE: That Dang Strap!
My seat would not come off unless you removed the strap - and it is one pain in the backside.
So it came off and stayed off the first time.
I don't think police notice or care about that stuff.
Also - if you have a backrest, it may qualify as the "passenger restraint" regulation - not sure.
Anyway, I hated the strap.
