    Need help replacing seat on Suzkimatic 450A

    This is my first bike and I am staring a bobber project. I am looking at a brand new Harley "reduced reach solo seat" thats a steal of a deal and I want to know how difficult it would be to replace my stock seat on the 450A, I've yet to figure out how to even lift seat up. The two levers on the side are my assumption but even doing those simultaneously doesn't lift the seat up. Are the mounting brackets for stock going to be same for solo? Any insight would be great.

    Cheers

    You have to loosen the bolts that hold the rear turn signals to the frame, slide the seat back a bit, THEN lift the rear.
