The two-piece seat is built on marine-grade fiberglass baseplates. The passenger seat is attached to the solo with two hidden screws. Mustang has designed the seat so that the solo portion utilizes the stock key latch and the rear of the seat is bolted down with the stock rear screw and a nylon washer.
To access helmet locks and tool kit, unlatch front of seat, lift up slightly, and pivot a few inches to the side.
