keys lock under seat

[blackmagic29405]

is there any way to get under the seat to the glove box without using a key i lock mine under the seat one day rushin

[steves]

Yes. The method is slight different depending on the model bike though.

in other words, what year and cc's?

[scottynoface]

im sure you could get imaginative with a screw driver, or just call a locksmith

I did that once on my 93 Kat. I used the end of a stillson wrench to poke the latch where the cable meets it to release the seat. Fairly easily I might add, but then agian, the 93 has a one peice seat for two riders

LOL Thats what I get for working for 20 years in a hardware store I know lots of tools by lots of names including the popular name for all tools commonly refered to as a "peice of shi "
... As in this peice of shi just broke and I need another LOL

Glove box???????????????????????????

LOL I know of an 80 GS that came with a rain suit and gloves under the seat, so I guess you could call it a glove box. Depends on what you put in there tho

[Black_peter]

But really.. How do you get the seat up ?

[chatty katty]

Try taking the right side rear fairing off, and taking out the plastic undertail, and the keys will fall right out. A pain but better than calling the locksmith I suppose.

Good idea!!

[md86]

The 98+ rear fairing can be removed without taking the seat off ?

[chatty katty]

Come to think of it, I don't think you can take the fairing off with the seat still on. But you might be able to remove the undertail. On the 97- I believe you can reach all the screws with the seat still intact.

Lemme think ....... there's a few 10 or 8mm screws in the wheel well . Doesn't the one in the battery box need to be removed from inside the battery box ? What about where it attaches near the seat plate deals Up top ? But I'm sure with enough tools , you can take enough of the bike apart to get in there SOMEHOW ....
