Ok so I'll start off by saying that me and my ex take on a lot of rough trails that include a bunch of train tracks that have to be crossed, so my stock latch would constantly come undone and I would have to get off and re-fasten it so I decided to do some "custom engineering"...
This is all you need to buy...

Take the cover and foam off of the pan and drill a pilot hole from the bottom of the pan...

Continue to drill out the original pilot hole until you can fit your bolt, I chose to go with a 5/8th bolt. Then put a flat washer on the bolt and slide it through the pan...

Screw the nuts onto the bottom side of the pan, I chose to double nut the outside so it won't back off...

Get some durable string and tie the clips to the rear fender...

Re attach the seat to the fenders with two bolts from your original latch and you're ready to ride...
