I recently purchased a Custom Cafe Seat (Part No. Z91498) from my local RE dealer for my 2010 G5 Deluxe. The catalog says the cafe seat should bolt on in 15 minutes "with no modifications". That wasn't my experience. The rear of the cafe seat bolted on OK using two of the four mounting holes for the stock dual seat. However, the front of the cafe seat does not fit snugly (like the dual seat) because it doesn't have the same under-seat rubber bumpers as the dual seat. Instead, there are two steel posts (with no rubber bumpers on the ends) protruding from the bottom of the cafe seat. These steel posts don't seem to line-up with any portion of the G5 frame, so there's no apparent way to keep the front of the cafe seat from rattling and wobbling around. Am I missing some installation hardware? Has anyone else had any experience with this seat? The new seat looks TERRIFIC on the G5, so I hope there's an EZ solution to this problem.

Your search returns no results.

Is that an nfieldgear number?

Yes, it is. The Custom Cafe Seat appears on Page 12 of the nfieldgear catalog. There are separate part numbers for "Bullet" (Z90637) and for "Electra, AVL, G5" (Z91498).

 Doug, I would call in, ask for tech assistance, good people to deal with, they'll get right for you. It's probably the quickest way.

On the mount for the G-5 solo seat there are two vertical prongs on the rear inside  of unknown use. Maybe you need that to locate your seat.
