    I had to remove my seat for some work on wires for lights and now of course the seat will not latch on the left side. I can of course get it to hold on the right when I lock it down however left side is so hard to see when I need it to latch. I need help with this can someone please respond so I can get it fixed.

    Is something in the way causing it to not sit down far enough to latch? Is it possible one of the latches on the seat got bent and now won't engage the tang on the frame? Just throwing stuff out there. Pics may help
