Well the other year I got a seatmaker seat.

Many others have to...

Or a Beeza http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/customizing/1489-tooled-leather-seats-bags.html

But unless you have a scorpio alarm

Or if you're just straight paranoid and/or don't trust people.

Do this little mod that I have saw before but Big House's dad had a great idea that made it simpler.

Secure your seat to your bike.

Pick up a 19" generic battery cable from your local auto parts store. Cost is only about $7. It is one piece, no assembly required, plus being rubber coated you don't have to worry about it hitting the battery and accidently grounding somewhere.



So you have your kick ass seat by Seatmaker or Beeza


Pull the seat and here's what ya got (my 2006 Chop)


Now you could use the front bolt but I was worried about pulling on the plastic side covers, knowing how many people have problems with them anyway


So I went with the bolt that secures the battery tray to the frame just in front of the rear fender.

Secure the cable to the seat. You could run a new screw somewhere on the seat but I choose to use the front latch's bolt. But due to the thickness of the cable end and the washer I replaced it with a longer bolt



So then you're done.... here's what you have


Should be enough to keep somebody from walking off with your seat.


And you don't notice it with the seat on.
