97 Honda VFR Seat Removal Question

Hi,

I am trying to replace the battery on my 97 VFR and unfortunately I
have no clue as to how to remove the seat.Can anyone please tell me
how to go about doing this?

Thanks

There's a lock on the RHS (as you sit on the bike), near the pillion
footpeg hanger.

Unlock the lock, then pull the lever behind it down and the seat will
pop off.

 

Any minute now someone is going to suggest an angle-grinder... Do not
be offended...

Tchah! Such old hat.

C4, shaped charge. It's the modern way.

I would take advice on the matter. What would you recommend?

I'd go with Ginge's advice - can't beat that.

 

Copper. V section is good. All the best warheads use it.

 

Personally, I'd avoid the ocean-going sort.

 

How about the panty sort?

 

Depends on whether it's used or not.

 

Overkill.

A thunderflash would be more than sufficient for removing a seat,
judging by what it can do to a post box:

The army do a safety demo for thunderflashes. It varies, but the one I
saw involved placing a two foot square of wriggly tin on a lit
thunderflash.

There was a bang and the square of steel was suddenly at least 50ft in
the air. Of course it dropped sort of like a falling leaf, mostly edge
on and not very predictably; there was rapid movement in the general
direction of Away by the blokes who suddenly found themselves in the
vicinity of Ground Zero.

There are other demos they do. I've not seen the coke can one, but as
a demonstration of how dangerous a blank round is, our Sergeant placed
a thick cardboard tube over the end of an SLR's barrel. He let off the
safety, squeezed the trigger, and suddenly the air was filled with
flakes of cardboard.

 

Eddie banged the rocks together and they said :

"We only have two amenities here, a bus shelter and a post box. And now
the post box has been blown up."

Oh jesus, my sides hurt. That place must be a mecca for all the
surrounding villages; Friday night Bus Stop disco!

 

Hope you noticed one of the other villages affected, Frag; you should
be at least familiar with the name.

 

Depends what you're using it for - C4 isn't that great a driving explosive
either, so copper not the best option. Actually if you want state of the
art, high precision shaped charges, don't look at the defence industry, the
oil industry is where it's at.

As an aside, gold is one of the best liner materials due to its rather
spiffing material properties.

 

DR banged the rocks together and they said :

Oh yes, I know Brampton reasonably well, and Haltwhistle, but not those
little villages. Actually Head's Nook does ring bells, but I can't
remember why.

My mind did start thinking of likely people who could have done it, but
they're all my age and well past that kind of stuff now.

I'd be amazed if it was anyone from Carlisle, Haltwhistle is a long way
to go to play silly buggers, even for very silly buggers.

 

I sit in Brampton as I type this; Heads Nook is about a mile off the
main Carlisle - Brampton road, near Corby Hill/Warwick Bridge.

What I want to know is where can I get hold of military grade
ordnance? I have several ideas for the use of...

 

DR banged the rocks together and they said :

You've done it now.

See those black helicopters?
