i made a seat latch after the same happened to mine. its very similar to a lonestar and in my opinion i think its ten times better. thick aluminum plate bent on a 90 with a brake (bending machine). holes drilled to fit standard hood pins from a car and 2 more bolts and nuts to hold it secure. all you need is some skill and the rite tools.

Thanks, but I think I am going the Armonks route. I all ready got the post tapped. Just need to order the bolt and pins.

My seat knob comes out from time to time when I'm riding but I have never lost it. Basically, it seized into the brass fitting inside the seat. So now when I screw it back into the seat, I'm actually screwing the brass part into the plastic. Like I said, it doesn't always hold but the brass part is too big to fall through the hole. The only time I ever lost my seat was going down the interstate. The wind blew it off and it landed safely on the trailer.
