How do you remove the seat strap end with the rivet in it?

Installed the Super reduced reach on my Limited yesterday. Seat came with a new strap. Instructions said it was a two-bolt deal. Wasn't. Right side was riveted. A dremel tool took care of the rivet, but you do have to remove the bracket. Removing the bracket was a good thing, as it was not properly adjusted from the factory and was putting a bind on the saddlebag.

I added the chrome passenger grab rails, so I removed the seat strap; don't like the 'look' of the strap installed on the seat. Seems like the grab rails are a more natural place for the passenger to have their hands.
As another member has mentioned, mine too has a revit and not a screw.

to another worthless federal regulation that makes no sense.
Either way it only made it 23 miles before I removed mine.

I replaced the stock seat with a HD "hammock" and was surprised to find the stock strap riveted in place. The new strap (different length) that comes with the new seat has no bracket attached so "unbolting the old bracket/strap and replacing with new" is not an option. I couldn't find any "official" recommendations through three dealers so I "shadetreed" my own solution.
There was a time in the early '60s when dealers sold new cars "with air conditioner" by tossing a factory packaged AC unit into the trunk... let the customer figure out how to install it. Deja vu MOCO, ya think?
The bottom line: quality is in the eye of the cost controller, apparently
