I had the same concern when I chopped the tail off mine. All I ended up doing was rerouting the metal 'noodle' that goes to the catch so instead of the cable coming from around the tail, it simply sits under the seat instead (comes in from the opposite direction).

If my instructions aren't easy to understand (likely!), let me know and I'll take a piccy and post it to you.

Best of luck

I got rid of it completely, then ground off the lock and bracket

afterall its not like the standard toolkit is 'desirable'

if I want the seat off I've got a loop of wire in my jacket pocket
