Crappy cell-phone photo, but I think you can see the two thumb-screws just behind the seat. They screw onto bolts that stick up out of the fender, which are attached to a bracket underneath the fender. Front of the seat has a tongue that slides into a groove.

Is it just me or do you not have much padding on the back side of your seat? It almost looks like the older seat.

Well I finally just broke down and emailed LePera to see if they could tell me if any of the small padded seats like the older bikes use will fit my bike, so we will see how long it takes

Compared with the stock seat (or anything similar), there's not a lot of padding anywhere. But compared with a typical sportbike seat, it's actually not that bad.

I put the stock seat (modified by Mean City Cycles) on for all-day rides.

Another angle:
