Question

How do I remove the seat from my vt700 1985 honda shadow?

Answer 1

There is a key to the back of the rear seat where the manuel is held for you bike.  Open this compartment with the key.  Next look for two bolts/screws that are connecting the rear seat to the support toword the top of the rear seat.  Remove these two bolts.  Next lean the rear seat forward and shove the enire rear seat toword the back of the bike.  You will find it was hooked under the front seat.  Then you will have exposed two more bolts/screws for the back of the front seat.  Remove these and you will find the front seat is hooked under the gas tank.  Lean the front seat forward and shove it toword the back of the bike to dislodge it.  If you need additional help email me at [e-mail].  I am in the process of taking my 1985 700 appart as well and rebuilding it.  If you are upgrading original parts to custom, then I can use your old stuff.  Also, a helpful hint.  once you remove the seats....   put the screws and bolts back into/onto there respective receptors for holding.  There are so many different sizes and types on this bike that putting them all together in a bag could be a mistake unless you have a very good labeling system and a lot of bags.   Good Luck!
