Abstract
A motorcycle includes a frame having an aperture, and a seat having an insert member that is inserted into the aperture to at least partially substantially secure the seat to the frame. A strap defines a loop surrounding a portion of the seat. The strap is manually releasably attached to the frame by way of a coupling member and a bushing having a biasing member. The coupling member includes an opening having an enlarged clearance portion and a reduced retaining portion, and the biasing member includes a split ring constructed of spring steel. When the bushing is positioned within the retaining portion of the opening with the split ring in the second condition, the biasing member resists movement of the coupling member. Manually-operable thumb screws are provided to permit quick attachment and release of the seat to the frame.
