Mounting Seat

Whats up guys, I have been creeping pretty hard on this forum since I first got my Geez about 4 months ago. I pretty much figured it was time to get in on the fun.
So what I'm trying to figure out is how to mount my homemade seat onto the geezer, I do not have a back fender on it if that makes a difference. The seat is pretty much rigged up from scratch as most of my whole "cafe" type conversion is. What I did is I took the last 6-10 inches of skateboard, and cut that off with a jigsaw. Ripped the griptape off then sanded it down so everything was smooth. Then I went up to walmart, got some normal foam, and stapled that down on top. Yesterday I went up to Joanns Fabric, and got some black vinyl. Today I hope to wrap the vinyl around the top of the skateboard deck and staple it down on the underside.
If anyone has any way i can mount this down onto my bike that would be great and all suggestions are welcome. I obviously want to be able to remove the seat without damaging it to access my electrical. I'm really on a budget and this is my first bike so try not to make any ideas too complicated. Thanks

I need to do it without drilling any holes or anything like that because the vinyl is now on the board. So the seat is complete

did you have the original seat? if so , can you use the parts from the underside of that seat to mount to your new seat? do you have any pics of the bike and the seat you could post?

Drilled two holes in the seat corresponding with the 2 bolts that hold the gas tank down. Will post pictures after I do some welding to higher the back side of the seat.
