CA77 Dualseat siderails

Post by Ian_C » Sat Jan 12, 2013 6:33 pm

On the side rails on each side of my dual seat there are three captive M6 studs and a clamp plate with 3 holes, these can only be seen when the seat is inverted.
Does anyone know what they are for? I thought perhaps a tool store?
Have posted a photo - hopefully it will make sense to someone.

They are used to hold down the passenger grab belt that goes around the seat. Basically, the belt goes under the clamps and tightens down. Steve

Many thanks for your quick response - it all makes sense now as I do not have the grab strap - another job for the list!!

Here are some pictures of how I redid my seat. Should give you a visual on the strap bbap mentioned.

Dual Seat Siderails

Many thanks to Paperslammer for a great article on recovering the dualseat. Luckily a previous owner had done most of this work on my bike, to make it perfect I just need to make the grabstrap and source a chrome strip surround. Ian
