And be careful that this one doesn't get waterlogged.CosmicC said:I plan on buying a Sundowner seat for my 04' fxdi. I have rigid mount sideplates with a short sissy bar and back rest. What do I need to take off in order to get the stock seat off ? And also in what order ? Thanks
What all needs to come off ?OrangeTJ said:I've taken the Sundowner seat off of my 05 with rigid sideplates and low backrest several times with no interference. Simple operations.
there is one screw at the very back of your seat that attaches the seat to the fender. Remove that screw. Next carefully pull the seat back being sure not to scratch the paint. The seat is has like a tongue in the front that just slips under a small bridge.hotshotfxdl said:I think you will need to remove the short sissy bar.

Same here, I can do it without removing the backrest but I have to really put a bend in the seat to do it, so I just remove the backrest.hotshotfxdl said:On my 2001 FXDL with the short siisy bar and backrest I needed to remove the backrest in order to lift the seat off the bike. Just remove that screw and pull back. Good Luck
