1978 R100S Seat pan latch issues
1978 R100S, MOTUS (delayed my retirement), 2014 F800 GSA, 2010 R1200 GSA, 2013 Triumph Thuxton, from my friend, Randy Lusk. USMC, Motor Officer, SF... Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, then got too fat to wear it. Rode Prudhoe Bay to Key West, no room for a t-shirt on that 30 day, 13,500 mile odyssey.

My 92 seat maybe, most likely different. But I can look if it will help.

Re: 1978 R100S Seat pan latch issues
Perhaps it is the fiberglass base causing the problem. Anyway, it does take a bit of fiddling around to get them adjusted properly so they latch properly.
In my worst case episode, due to the pin not latching, I had one of the seat hinges tear out requiring the seat to be sent back to Corbin. They were nice enough to repair it.
I can imagine the stock metal seats are far better for the pin staying adjusted. St.
