Hi John,
The driver's seat can be mounted securely independant of the pillion seat (has to be to work with the Smugglers Trunk). The seat comes with a bracket with two longer screws that mount to the bike just in front of the fuse box that is in front of the toolbox.
If I remember I'll take a picture for you tonight.
but it will not be secured by the key lock. The key lock only locks the passenger seat, which in turn covers the latch that holds the front seat in place. If you're tank covered the back of the driver seat in the same manner that the rear seat does, then you're probably in good shape.Ahh yes, poor choice of words on my part - by securely I meant will not fly off if you are setup for solo
Just thought I would add some bigger pictures for you showing where the Corbin bracket hooks up. You likely can't use those bolts under the bracket as a mounting point for your cell if that's what you were planning.I have a Corbin seat (purchased from a seller on here) with no bracket. I never use just the front seat so it's no big deal, but I am going to see if I can get just the bracket from Corbin. If you use both front and back together, the seats are both secure, but that would make it even more-so.

Thanks for the great pictures of it since I have never seen it before.
I don't see how a 2 part seat could be secure when only the rearmost part is secured to the bike. I have a Corbin and a Smuggler (with the bracket) and I don't see how you could have ridden the bike without that bracket securing the rider's seat, because it doesn't lock in to anything else.
