Stock seat is fine for short rides. Took a long ride (7 plus hours) and it was bothersome. Going to replace mine and I will be removing the strap. Thanks for the videos.

[@Yelwas]

Thanks Alf, just about to remove my seat for the first time, that kinky strap is a pain.

[@RidesForDays]

I wondered how that worked...now I know...good video cheers👍

[@RevelatorAlf]

Glad it helped

For me it was simple deduction on my 19 SG after tussling with my first seat removal I removed that useless strap.

[@8610sarge]

Did the same when I bought the bike, its never going to get used so bin it, you know it makes sense.👍.

Hello Alf. How do I install a seatback for the rider? Thanks for the tips, they are worth gold!!

[@RevelatorAlf]

Cheers. You will need to get a docking kit and then attach the seat back sissy bar or rack to it.

[@husamfahmawi3659]

Can I spoilt the seat and keep the solo only ?

[@joe2479]

Can you replace that plastic clip with a metal circlip? I think I'll just cut the strap.

[@markmulvaney6353]

Awesome video. Thank you !!

[@zacklou]

Can you remove the passenger seat and keep the drivers seat?

[@RevelatorAlf]

that would be a different type of seat required. You can buy a solo seat or there are some tow up two piece seats which you can get too. Cheers

[@biyaheniulan4397]

Very helpfull. Having hardtime thinking how to remove my seats hahahaha

[@RevelatorAlf]

Glad it helped! Cheers

[@markrawkins4106]

Done, looks better to. Cheers!

First thing ,or one of the first things i did was remove the strap, In my mind and me missus who sits there useless,we are thinking of "customizing" the seats not quite sure original HD or go to a seat maker to put some gel in there and do some nice stiching.Both about the same price too.

[@RevelatorAlf]

Yep, gel inserts would be a good way to go for sure

[@daveo226]

Yep strapless here also Alf 👍

[@davidmacgregor5193]

Why can't H-D make metal seat bases so that you can drill a couple of holes on either side of the pillion seat base and the strap be pop riveted into the holes. That's what I did with the strap on my old Benelli 900 Sei, but it has a metal base. I suppose the Harley's plastic base isn't strong enough for a pillion to hold onto the strap without it breaking the plastic thus pulling out the rivets.

[@RevelatorAlf]

Not sure. Prob cause they’re already heavy enough and it would be more expensive to make too. Not sure

[@geoffmitchell3554]

Nice.. I guess now that I have seen the Vid its probably easier to cut the strap if its never going back>> Thanks

[@RevelatorAlf]

You bet, cheers

[@Spike-wk3rq]

I think I'll just cut the strap then take the seat off then remove what's left of the strap.

[@dangerousdriverschannel]

Quella cinghia per legge deve esserci poiché sarebbe l'appiglio del passeggero, e serve anche per fissare meglio la sella, cosa molto importante

[@Albertotonas]

Got

[@keithdighton]

If you are gonna throw the strap away why not just cut it beforehand

[@HepcatHarley]

Solo seat, who needs passengers anyway, get the wife to pass her test and get her own bike, ride together forever :)

[@RevelatorAlf]

ha ha it has been mentioned...many times
