Thank you for doing this video! I couldn't figure out how to remove my seats so I could get to my dead battery. This was easy! What did we all do before the internet and CZcams?!
Thank you so much. There are so many videos for the boulevard bike seat. I guess each year was different or something. My dad went out of town for an extended period of time and put me in charge of cranky up his bike. I don't ride so after waiting for six weeks had a Harley rider show me, found out the battery was dead and on father's day finally cranked up the bike after charging the battery after pulling out all the unnecessary screws to get the seat off when all I needed was 1 allen wrench 3 screws. Happy Father's day dad.
Thanks Dusty. I have a 2005 C 50 as well. Love my little cruiser. You are brave using an electric drill. I always use a hand ratchet because I am so clumsy and would probably lose control of the drill and scratch the paint of the fender. Thanks Ben. I used your advice in removing my seat(s). Sure gets dirty under the seat(s). Out here in Santa Barbara the fires dumped a lot of toxic and abrasive ash so I periodically clean the fender. Thanks for the refresher. Wishing you safe riding in 2018.
Thanks for the comment! A hand ratchet is definitely a good idea, and the screws come out with fingers once you get them backed out a bit. My C50 is covered up now... -10 F weather doesn't even really allow me to think about riding yet. Ha! Soon enough tho!
Well I'm damened never knew my UK Volusia was same as a C50 my seating same as yours battery flat you've helped me with vid get the main seat off now .
Great "refresher" course for me. I'd still like to find out who runs thru CZcams giving Thumbs Down.... I see nothing ain't with this video. I believe there's bots doing this.
It's way easier if you pull the strap off of the rear seat, then take off the back screw, the rear seat will slide out and you'll have easy access to the two screws that hold down the rider's seat.
There's an easier way to get those 2 bolts that hold the main seat down without spinning the drill bit right by the fake leather seat and causing damage...just slide the rear, smaller cushion straight back under the loop that holds it and pull it totally out. Then you will have WAY easier access to undo the 2 bolts.
Hi Ben, I have loosen the first screw and remove the strap around the back seat, but something still hold it… any suggestion should the back seat be twisted or push forward or….. because and cant remove the back seat..
Thank you for this video. It would be great if you´d make another with the process of removing and replacing the battery, I removed it days ago now I can´t remember where one of the cables (one with two outputs) was connected. (not the easy ones connected to red&black connected) Thanks in advance.
My bike is same year same model but different seat that has only one rounded screw thing holding it. Can’t get it off and there are no other videos. Bummer
take out the rear seat screw....pull HARD to the rear and it comes off....remove the 2 screws for the front seat and your done...... wayyyy easier than needing the extension and small cramped spaces to remove.

use your key. and the lock that held your seat on. at least with my old 81 Yamaha maxim! how I miss that simple thing sometimes.

Thanks man. Connecting MINI LIGHTS LED to crash bar and didn't know how to safety remove seat. Ride on bro.
If you check the left side cover on the bike there should be a tool kit behind the cover that has all the Allen wrenches that go with your bike in it

Thanks! That was recommended in comments previously. It can definitely make it easier..

Good point, Ben... I obviously did not realize that that "Loop" that holds the rear seat slides off. Thanks for the comment!
@@computerguy366 thanks helped me as well
