Hammock Seat on 2018 Tri-glide
How do you mount the STRAP on a Tri-glide? I know I have to remove the chrome passenger Grab Rails because the Hamock is wider in back. It supposedly comes with a strap but I don’t see where to mount the strap on the frame.
Anyone dealt with this issue? Picking up a demo seat this weekend and want to know how to mount it.
TIA

Can't answer your question but in my case (I also have an '18 Tri-Glide) I opted to having my OEM seat customized to my liking my Mean City Cycles (MCC) in North Carolina.
I had the driver seat "tail-bone" mod done with memory foam and heat added to the ride and passenger seats.
The cost was less than buying a new seat and I kept my metal handrails.
The only issue that I have found so far is that the switch for the passenger's seat is very close to the handrail.

I have a '12 Trike and had to remove the grab handles for the Hammock seat. Before the Hammock I had a Road Zepplin that fit in the handles. I didn't put the strap on, because the passenger can use the arm rests just fine.

What I use now is a Hammock with Air Hawk seat pads. Works just fine. The only draw back is you have to stop to adjust the air in the Air Hawk. But with a bit of practice you can get it right the first time.
Cost was much less with this set-up. But the Hammock has a habit of loosing seams with use. If this happens it will go to Mean City Cycles for a seat re-do ! They do a great job building the seat your way, and custom covers using what you want for material for the cover.

Here is a good example of their work.:

I removed my strap when I first bought my 2016; I don't really remember where it attached. You might be able to look at a trike at the dealer to see where the stock strap is attached. Sorry I can't be more help
