The whole tail or just the catalyst seat? My seat pulled thru the bolts one time, I looked like superman there for a moment hanging on for dear life. I squeezed the bike so tight with my legs I broke both tabs off the tail peices. I made flat alum peices the same shape as the part where the bolt goes thru and epoxyed them to the seat. Then I retapped the holes for larger 1/4 20 bolts. I still get a little bend in the screws after a year of racing.

tail not the seat, im thinking of a brace right behind where the seat goes up, a flat piece that would touch against the back of the seat to prevent it from sliding back..
