97 Honda VFR Seat Removal Question

Not running away fast enough might require one, certainly.

 

Black ones now? Was watching Chinooks go by last week, and Apaches
the week before. It's all go up here.

 

DR banged the rocks together and they said :

 

Which is the right answer... so long as the seat hump isn't fitted.

If so, you need to undo the two retaining allen bolts for that, remove
it and then proceed as above.

FWIW, I found the above a PITA, not least because it means if you ever
want to store anything under the seat and expect to be able to get to
it whilst out and about, you need to have an allen key about your
person... which is fine...except you can't access the bikes toolkit
until you've got the seat off...

 

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Look, we're talking WUN(1) here therefore "state of the art" and "precision"
have no relevance.

This is, as you well know, a group where the angle grinder is king and noise
is everything. How many posts have *you* read that say, "Where can I get
some stealth mode cans for my XYZ1000 XYR1".
Doesn't happen.
Loud'n'dirty is what's wanted(2) Big bangs, wreckage, bits in orbit, plenty
of collateral damage, singed beards etc

It must be said that using a gold lined charge to open, say, a safe, would
have a certain JNSQ.

It does. I took off the Scorpion race can that my Bandit came with and
fitted a standard silencer because the Scorpion was just too loud.

ISWYM but that was just you going into pipe and slipper mode. Wuss. ... I

True, I was assuming a level of finesse that was unwarranted.

 

Scraggy says...

It must have happened a while ago then, because I have never really been
a fan of race cans. I have one on my Triumph because the sound it makes
is glorious, not that shrill 4 cylinder scream and I had a pair of
Scorpions on my Firestrom that sounded beautiful, but I'm no big fan of
them really.

A quick drive down the A66 to the ranges might be a good starting
point. It's been claimed several times that it's easier for the
squaddies to throw away live munitions than it is to go though all the
bullshit of booking them back in if they have any left over after the
days activity.

 

Hold out for a Werthers.
