I need a new seat latch for my K75 (#8 in the picture below).  It has a broken catch so the seat won't latch shut.  Anyone have a spare to sell?

I have a complete latch somewhere which I don't need although it does not have a key.  It came with a batch of stuff and is in good condition.    

I can post it unless you find one closer, with a key.  Don't want anything for it.

If you get stuck and nothing comes through I had repaired one using a paperclip, epoxy and a bit of tender filing. So if your in a jam I could make a sketch the process.

The hook portion of the catch has broken off and looks like it won't be easily repaired. You can see that in the picture below. [WTB] K75/K100 seat latch Img_0012

Thank you for that offer Tackler. I think I have a line on a latch from a local guy. I'll let you know if I manage to obtain one locally.

In post 4's image, this exactly how mine broke. If you see it is grooved, this is were I used a paperclip to strengthen it.

 Here's how I repaired mine, epoxy is frustrating to use on small projects.

1) small amount of epoxy to glue it back together, let cure over night.

2) cut and bend a paperclip to fit in the groove.

3) using more epoxy fill in the groove and all around like a cast, let cure overnight

4) dremel or small file to return to close to original form but leaving enough epoxy to hold it together


I always place an item over the latch so the metal latch doesn't break the repair if the seat falls shut. Also, I ALWAYS push in the button mechanism before closing the seat.

I am probably not going to take the seat lock and latch apart for a photo op....

I met a guy today who gave me a couple of (useless to him) latches. They had defective locks but everything else was intact and working. So I swapped out my broken parts for working parts. Everything is back to normal again.

The Great Pumpkin put a kabosh on mine today as my repair failed. It's supposed to fail at the end of riding season- aaargh...

My backup plan is a piece of chain which drops down and hooks onto the helmet look. Tape is to reduce frame scratchin'.
