How To Remove an FLSTC Harley Seat

For the most part, your Harley-Davidson LSTC Heritage Softail Classic's seat will remain attached to your motorcycle, but certain maintenance procedures may require you to remove the seat for a short time. Unlike the single-piece seats used by other Harley models, the FLSTC uses a two-piece seat consisting of the passenger pad and the rider's seat. While its not entirely difficult to remove the entire seat, knowing where to find the bolts that secure the rider's seat to the frame can speed up the process.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy
