Title: passenger seat removal
Post by: +RO@D*R@GE+ on November 17, 2012, 08:28:22 PM: I see some of the 2012 cvo rg with the passenger seat removal and no screws showing ...those two big ones holding the leather strap.
question is there a kit to make it flush or something? does anyone have picture of theres with the solo seat so I can see what I'm doing wrong? or do the screws just stay showing?
thanks for any help

also what is this flush button or cap if you will that people are talking about? that goes in the screw hole of the passenger pillion seat?

I figured out the leather flap that covers the screws but now I'm interested in this button or cap for the pillion screw hole
thanks again guys!!!

Yes, what he said. There's a leather flap behind the rider seat. Just pull it up and over the screws. Easy-peasy!

Could you show a picture. I've got a 12 CVO Road Glide, and I looked for this leather cover you talk about and I can't seem to figure it out, and it looks ugly with the big bolts showing.
Thanks Jonnierock

sorry for the dumb questions
Title: Re: passenger seat removal
Post by: ftmyerscobra on December 02, 2012, 06:59:13 AM: yes I leave the nobs on, they get covered by the flap on the rear of the seat.

Post by: Puzzled on December 02, 2012, 10:59:01 AM: I was concerned with how easy it would be to steal the seat with those twist bolts. Brukus sells a lock kit to replace the twist bolts.

Title: Re: passenger seat removal
Post by: ftmyerscobra on December 03, 2012, 05:22:04 PM: take a look at the under side of you seat. There is a little button type cap that you thread into the fender when riding solo.
Title: Re: passenger seat removal
Post by: +RO@D*R@GE+ on December 03, 2012, 05:38:29 PM: someone told me that but I can't find it..could you get a picture of what it looks like and what it looks like installed on the bike
thanks for the help...I keep hearing that but not sure what everyone is talking about
is it under the drivers seat or the pillion seat

So, your question is, "To knob, or not to knob? :nixweiss: That's so Shakespearean. :huepfenlol2:

(I'm obviously not busy enough today.)

Rich and I went and looked at the passenger seat on my bike and sure enough it was there. It simply pulls out of the seat bottom and pushes into the bike. It is a plastic piece. It is not threaded as I thought it would be.

It is under the passenger seat. It looks like something that holds the seat together. It is the only chrome piece under the seat.

Yes, I tried twisting it and that didn't work. A fingernail under the edge and it pops off.

Post by: ftmyerscobra on December 04, 2012, 05:30:47 PM: I think the CVO knob looks funny. But to each his own.
