Just got a pair of Tourmaster II slant saddle bags for my 883R. How do I safely remove the seat to install them?

 

Not sure if its much different but on my 1200C I just had to undo the screw holding it down at the back of the seat then push the seat slightly forward to move it in the slot under the middle of the seat. Its one of those graduated slots that goes from small to big with a peg in it. I imagine your seat is similar... Others will correct me if I am wrong. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

 

Remove the screw at the back of the seat. Lift up the back of the seat about an inch and push forward about an inch and lift up higher.

 

Remove the rear screw from the tab. Lift up a little on the rear of the seat, push down with your hand in the middle of the seat while pushing forward on the rear in order to release the middle mount point and then the whole thing should lift off. This is for a two up seat. (all I know) It should also be explained in your owner's manual.

 

Thanks guys.
