Default Stock seat removal

Hi guys ,
How do you take out the stock seat in a roadking custom ?
I read the user manualbut is it something extra that I should take care for ?
How about when I want to put the seat back ?
I am asking you this as Iam planning tocharge the battery tonight...


Cheers,
John

real simple.
From the back of the seat at the rear fender, remove the phillips screw.
Pick the seat up from the back of the seat to the front.
There is a small hooking device under the seat that connects the seat to the frame closer to the tank. Should take you about 2 minutes and that is giving you 1 min 30 seconds to find a screwdriver.

heres a pic of the underside of a touring seat. The top portion may be different but the underside is the same. Notice the hooking device. Once you pick the seat up from the rear you will have to slightly pull towards the rear of the bike.
