ok heres the pics of the mounts for the seats, in 1st pic there is hooks welded on frame, i made a mount on front of seat to slide in there, pic #2, then welded the mount to the back, welded a tab on and bolt the back of seat to the tab.the small back seat had the original front mount so i made a piece of aluminum and bolted that to it then bolted the whole thing to exsisting mount on bike, the seat rests on the alunminum and then the back of it had the chrome mount and just drilled hole in back fender.
