Default Changing my seat........

I have a stock seat on my '09 Low Rider. I'm looking at picking up a Mustang vintage solo and want to change back and forth to the stock 2 up for the wife. I am just looking to see how long it usually takes someone to change to their solo seat.

I'm planning to do something similar but want the two up for luggage since my OL rides her own. With both screw nuts in place swapping seats is a matter of unscrewing the solo, slipping it out, slipping the twoster in, and attaching the screw.

47.23 seconds on average, I'd say.

I use a thumb screw on my seats. Quick change in less than a minute.

I change mine daily, just about. Takes me about five minutes, but that includes a Haulen *** backrest. Cuz my girlfriend is spoiled.

I always remove my engine before removing my seat so I don't get any scratches on the rear jug chrome rocker box cover. So, it takes me about 7.3 hours to complete the job.

Wow, anywhere from 47 seconds to 7.3 hours. When I had a 2 up seat I did it in around five minutes, so I guess that's average.
