Seat CX500

At the risk of sounding like a complete nitwit here is my question:
How do you take the seat off a cx500 custom?

There are two bolts that hold the seat on. One on the left, one on the right. On the back half of the seat about 6 inches from the end. You can see brackets coming down from the seat. They are about 2 inches wide.

If it's a CX500 standard or deluxe, there are 2 levers under the seat. They are about 4 inches behind where the shocks mount, under the seat. Push one side back and pull up on the seat for that side, and then do the other side. The seat will come off then.

If your going to do something, do it right, don't do it half as@*d.
