I lost one of the grommets for the seat. Cheapest I found was 6 bucks a piece plus shipping. I got the idea from an old post on this board figured I'd post some pics since I'm bored. They fit very snug no way there going to come off unless you really want them off. I got them from Advance Auto Parts on there "help" isle for $4.89.

Nice fix :D

I had that problem years ago with them wanting to come off. All I did was poke a small hole in side that doesn't have the hole, and ran a zip tie all the way around it. It's a 100% fix that has worked for years. Try it out if you haven't lost your original ones already ;)

I already lost the one, that's why I had to improvise. When I go riding I put my wallet, cell phone and keys in a zip lock bag and put it in my air box so I can lock up the truck and not have to worry about losing anything. Taking the seat on and off last time I rode I must have lost one.
