Hey folks the only way my seat "locks in" is a small lever on the left side that doesn't hold very well, is there another way to secure it?

Duct tape, drywall screws, or zip ties.

One if the 3 is the perfect solution.

Hahah okay, I didn't know if there are a less redneck solution but if it works then it works.

It is an SX, I'm not sure what spring you're talking about? I can't remember seeing a spring anywhere on the seat?

I think that is the spring you're talking about is on the actual handle I see there, but no I don't have that. I'll have to start looking for one. I don't have that assembly on the front of the seat either...

Looking at the pic, the spring is on the left side, and you need it for sure. It keeps tension on the hole assembly. I have some extra parts for the seat mounting, (sorry no spring though) so hit me up if you are interested.

Okay I will definitely keep you in mind, do you think I can find that spring on eBay?

I have my spring and it does nothing. LOL. I wish my fenders would stay on.

Post up a WTB for one in the classifieds. That's what I did with good results.
