As long as you got the metal bracket too then you are set. Best mod you will ever do. And it does sit lower and is more comfortable

I bought mine off of ebay and it came with the bracket. If you only got the seat, it might be hard to find a bracket separate. I would guess that maybe you could get just the bracket from the dealer if needed, but not sure.
