Build a motorcycle seat

Step 3 Finally get that seat off

This requires an interesting motion. Remove the two mounting bolts, then push down on the lowest part of the seat, near the front. Use the other hand and grab the tail of the seat and pull back/upwards. You have to keep the nose of the seat pinned while you rotate the back end in an upward arc, and the seat will come off.

You can see here how the seat and tank are mounted. A rather ingenious setup, but a pain to work with "blind". Once you've seen it, things go back together easier.

Success!
