2010-2011 Mountain seat on 2009, how does it mount?

Hi All, please forgive me if this has been answered before. (I did a search) How does the mountain (shorty) 2010-2011 seat mount to the tunnel? I bought a used one for my 09 M8 and while I am waiting for it to show up I want to make sure I am ready to put it on when it does show up.

Thanks!

Bolt it up!

It uses the two studs that are at the rear of the fuel tank. Take the two nuts/washers off, put the seat on, re-instal the nuts in the storage cavity (yeah, it's huge) inside the seat. You can just remove those two nipple things that the old seat clipped onto, don't need those anymore.

The studs that hold the rear of my tank are not long enough. If you buy this seat new does it come with new longer studs?

I did the same and put a new (2010-2011) seat on my 2009. It did not come with longer bolts but I was able to remove the washers on the tank studs to give me enough room to get the nuts started.

Awesome thank you!
