seat removal
I was going to remove my seat. I removed that bolt in the back and then after a closer look, it appears that that grab strap will not come off unless I remove the bracket for the saddle bag. I cannot believe that you cannot remove the grab stap for the seat without completly removing the saddle bags (ok, one saddle bag)

RE: seat removal
The 06 Ultra has a Phillips screw on the left end of the strap.
Remove left bag, remove screw, remove seat.
Be careful the rear seat tang screw is not captive and will head off for unexplored parts of your garage if you let it. Don't ask me how I know.

RE: seat removal
If you're not careful aligning it you'll have the bag rubbing the sidecover, just ask the tech that did my 1K service.

RE: seat removal
note: if you have leather bags like a Road king classic..double check that the bags are not set too far back and touch the chrome turn signal house in the back of the bike....or as you ride the vibration and rubbing of bag against chrome turn signal house WILL mark your bags...look at the bikes in the dealers and at meets and notice the melt/heat little circle on the bags..even worse if you have the blinkers set-up as running lights...i do not know if hard bags would be the same.
