Hi everyone, when I bought my bike (1998 S3), it did not have the seat latch cable. I just got one and I can't tell where the "T" part of the cable mounts. Can someone post a picture of how this mounts and is routed? The parts book doesn't even picture it.

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Dan, the cable mounts to the left side of the frame on a bracket welded to the down tube near the battery.
I may have a junk S3 frame with that bracket still on it.

Thanks Kevin, I'll look for the mount in that location

Hopefully these pics of my 1998 S3T Defender will provide more info than ever needed.

Can't say for sure that it's routed properly (as from factory), but it seems appropriate and from what I recall worked fine...

Thanks guys, I got installed this weekend. I'm not sure I routed it as per the factory either, but it went in, doesn't seem to bind and works. You can't ask for much more than that.

It's funny, I really couldn't see any evidence that there was one there originally. Oh well, it's there now.
