[attachmentid=3808]I can't be the only one with this problem. you have to set your helmet down to unlatch your seat to use helmet lock well I came up with a 30 min. fix I found a small spring and mouted it to the under side of my seat so it works like the spring on your car hood. This is so simple I am sure someone else as done it.

I'm off to find a spring, great idea!

Good idea I'll have to do that one to my Blackbird when I get it.

What's that blue thingie in the middle of the seat? The bottom of my stocker didn't have anything like that!

Thats another useless thing Honda puts on the bikes, The tool pouch is another. You can take them off and leave them at home in some junk drawer..

Now THAT s being an inconsiderate motorcyclist.

How are you going to help the stranded Hardly-Ableson and Buell riders if you don't have your tool-kit?

What a great idea. Thanks

I help harley riders by giving them a business card to a honda dealership and allow them to use my cell to call them.

Perfect upgrade for my XX'es..

The stock seat yeah but somebody put one on a Corbin and let me know how it goes.

It is the owners manual.


the blue thingie as you call it is the owners manual owners manual.

LOL! They know!!

Great idea, by the way! Now if I can find a way/place to put the seat so the corners of the vinyl don't get tattered after repeatedly leaning the seat on the ground against the bike!..

Now why didn't I think of that?? I think I may have to call eibach though for a spring to pop my corbin like that.

Neat ideal. Good thinking!

Is it set in place with a washer and screw?


What the weather like in your part of Alaska?

What I did was took a pair of needle nose pliers and at the base of the spring I made the loop smaller and it is held in place with a small pan head screw. As for the weather I am still riding but not much longer it is 45F. today and raining getting down around 32F. at night.I just installed Dual Star hand warmers they work great I am going to keep riding until it starts to snow any day now.

I just turn the key, the seat unlatches and I grab it with my left hand then take my helmet off my head with my right hand - works for me
