For those of you that like the looks of your seat strap but think it's a pain in the ***, this mods for you!
Now unbolt that thing for the last time and drill out the rivets holding the straps to the strap brackets.
Go down to an upholstery shop or Joanne Fabrics and pick up some heavy duty snaps with the large
chrome button covers. The large snap buttons match the old rivet heads. Attach the chrome buttons and female parts of the snap to each end of the strap. Attach the male part of the snap to the strap brackets where the old rivets were. Bolt the strap brackets back on and there you go! Taking off your seat or putting on your backrest is a breeze! Just remember to tell any rider that the strap is just for looks and is non-functional. .....Bizarro

 

 

I will post some pics after work today. .....Bizarro

 

The strap mod makes it convenient to remove your seat with the removal of one screw, yet maintain the stock look of the seat with strap the installed! ....Bizarro

 

I like it. Thanks. I will do that for my SG.

 

How do you attach the male part of the snap to the strap bracket?

 

The male snap part has a 1/8'' hole. The hole in the bracket is too large for a 1/8'' pop rivet. So I used a small flathead machine screw with a head that would fit inside the snap. Then a washer and nut on the backside. .... Bizarro

 

I hope that's the case does this one count?

 

Ah, got it - *great* idea.
