How to remove the seat panels?
Evening all. Fitting rear crash bars but i can not find out how to remove the seat panels. I have found 2 bolts that allow the front edge to move but i need more asses to the frame bars. Are there any videos on YT?. Can you help?.
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.

Re: How to remove the seat panels?
Looking at this photo, the rear carrier needs to be removed to access a screw underneath.
If it's the same as a Camhead, there is a screw near the rear socket which is accessed from under the seat.
There is also a screw on the underside (lower edge) rearwards of the footrest plate.

Cheers David. What a pain to fit rear crash bars. Anyhow, the front and rear are fitted now. The German only written instructions pushed my rusty German to the limits in places.
