Two nuts under the front nose of the seat. Look under the edge of the seat, both sides, near the nose. They are 10 MM nuts. Remove, lift slightly, and then slide the seat forward and to will lift off.

The RSV and RSTD are some of the best kept secrets in the Motorcycle industry. I think you will really enjoy it.

Glad you are here again. Sounds like you found a great solution. Hope it allows you to ride for many more years.

I don’t think so.

Good looking rig. Sounds like a great deal on the ramps also.

Yesterday, I had to drive to Columbus to service a stairlift. When I got home I had to get the yard mowed. I was determined to finally uncover and the bike and take a ride today. So early this morning, I got up, uncovered the bike for the first time this year and went for a little ride. As luck would have it, it rained off and on but I went anyway. It was a short but much needed ride. Bike hadn't been started or even uncovered since last fall and I figured on top of everything else, she would be mad at me but she started right up and was rearing to go. If it clears up, I may take it out again later today. It sure felt good though.

Lol. I know I would be.

Here's a bit more about them. https://www.advrider.com/report-bikebandit-bankruptcy-raises-serious-questions-customers-left-holding-the-bag/

I've bought from them in the past also. The bad thing is that their website is still up and they are still taking peoples money. You can read more on their Facebook page. Hundreds of people have been ripped off. They placed orders, BikeBandit accepted the orders and never sent the parts. No way to reach them by telephone or email. They filed bankruptcy in February but people have been waiting on refunds since mid last year at least. Yet they are STILL taking orders. They should be hung.

I know that many of us have bought from BikeBandit over the years. Just ran across this. The article went on to say that the company has disappeared with about $650,000 of customers money

Never tried it or even thought about it. I've had a couple of RSVs that I put the Corbin backrest made for the RSV on. My wife liked them. Somewhat similar to that one.

Luvmy40 is correct of course. You can't take them apart without destroying them but it is typically just the o-ring and doesn't require disassembly.

They made a great hitch. They were a bit overpriced and we had a member here that started making them. They were just as good and much cheaper. I don't think he makes them any longer though.

Looks good. He definitely made the best looking one.

Copied to tech library.

Never tried them. I actually like my heel hanging over the back of the highway pegs. It's the first thing that drags in aggressive curves.
