Default X-bones seat-How to adjust?

My local dealer has the X-Bones, and the bike looks great. Yet another winner from HD. I hear the Fat Bob is doing pretty good too. Don't see one on the floor, if that's any indication.

Anyway, they were asking if anyone knows how to adjust the seat. I am sure it is in the owner's manual, but that puppy is in plastic, and they don't want to pop the cherry for the first owner. So, if anyone can give a description of how to tweak it, it'd be greatly appreciated.

409 miles and counting. South Beach yesterday. Put some lever covers on the levers, and had to adjust the clutch cable to get the clutch to fully disengage. Be forewarned in the event that you do the same. Can't live without my leever covers though. Pics really soon, I promise. Almost got whiplash, there were so many pretty girls to look at.

the dealer told me they have springs in 3 diff lengths so I guess you would have to get longer or shorter sptings

And also, I have heard that you can change the seat springs to lower it a bit. There's 3 choices, AFAIK.
