just don't do any stand up wheelies! wind may catch the seat and pull it back!

that's why i don't do wheelies......so my seat doesn't fall off...lol!

I had the same issue with my bike. I keep a .380 under my seat so I needed it to latch and a washer or two between the seat pan and the latch catch will do the same thing and keep the seat on the bike at any speed.

had it fixed before i even thought of takin pix. had to get ready for bridge day!!!!!the only real damage the second one did was shifter, frame(but it just dug out bondo from a previous accident)bars, which were 32 inchers which actually minimized the frame damage.and some more rash
