On what bike? 77-78 kz1000 have them, 80ltd does not, I am sure 79ltd are the same way also.

Of course the z1s have them also, just in a different spot
my bikes; 80kz1000(project), 77 gl1000, 74 h2 (project)
Past; 78 kz1000, 83 kz550

The 77 should have it, my 78 A2 had the seat hook on it, maybe I'm wrong but 77 should be identical frame wise.

& Pattons Home made seat strap
Perfect length" nylon strap.
Quick, simple, effective, non-destructive, easily removable.

Using a hot pointed tool to punch the holes produces firm, crystallized, non-raveling holes.
