85' 86 250R seat came off during race or ride? Never again!

I had my seat come off during a race. This happened to several fellow racers as well. Replace the spring latch system with this pin latch system and never worry about losing your seat/fender during a race or hard ride. Made from billet 6061 aluminum. Now available in the 3WW store.246692246691246693

I let my brother ride my 81 250r at the dunes and the seat flew off as well. He said it hurt quite a bit ripping off with the fenders right between the legs. He put the seat back on and rode it back. We realize that the latch spring fell off, so we zip tied it. Nice innovation on the latch though.

ummmmm...or you might be able to simply put a 3 cent zip tie on the latch like the tecate guys do.

I have done the ziptie thing. Sorry, but I prefer a more proper and professional solution. LOL.

He was referring to the seat. The tecate fenders are bolted but the seat uses a latch.

...but it is nice to know that there are optional parts available to honda owners to help them keep their bike together when they ride them. https://www.mustang.org.au/forum/Smileys/smilies/thumbsup.gif

The tecate fenders are bolted but the seat uses a latch.Well, on an '85-86 250R, which is what this product thread is about, if the seat comes off, the rear fenders are going with it, as they're bolted together. On the '86-87 Tecate, the seat is bolted to the rear fenders, and the rear fenders are bolted to the frame, so no latch there either. Are you referring to the '84-85 Tecate that has a seat latch? I don't know much about those, except that they weren't the most powerful 250cc 3-wheeler in the universe. :naughty:
