Here in the US all motor vehicles are required to have seat belts. This 
is another one of those asinine laws that are there to protect us from 
ourselves. While it is perfectly OK to drive and talk on your cell phone 
and put other people at risk cops are required to issue tickets to 
drivers that are not strapped in. They call this the "Click it or 
ticket" campaign. Several years ago, one state had a similar plan but 
rather than issue tickets they put up billboards with the slogan "Have 
you belted your kids today?"  Anyway, rather than make different seats 
for different markets, Triumph figured that, in the long run, it is 
cheaper to make all seats with attachment points for the seat beats.

Actually they're for attaching the seat cowl.
