Catch plate assy
Catch plate assembly for the twin seat, the hardware that lets the seat latch down to the frame.
This is the catch plate assembly for the twin seat, part number 83-7329. It's the small mounting hardware that lets the seat latch down to the frame instead of just sitting loose on its mounts. You'll find it listed under the gas tank and twinseat figures in the parts books, which is where the seat's fasteners and hinge hardware live.

It's a straightforward bit of bodywork hardware, not something with a lot of moving parts, but if it's worn, bent, or missing, the seat won't lock down properly and can shift or pop up while riding. Worth checking against your own seat base before ordering, since catalog listings for this part run from the late '70s into the mid-'80s.
If you're chasing a rattly or loose-feeling seat, this is one of the first things to inspect. It's inexpensive as these things go, so a lot of owners just replace it outright rather than trying to straighten a tired original.
