how do I make that hinged seat piece over gas cap?
I've looked & looked
anyone know where the "how to" is for hinging the part of the seat that covers the gas cap...as in the seat side becomes the door which can swing to access the gas cap without raising the seat
thanx

You are describing the Corbin seat as it has the gas door. I am not sure the factory seat pan is stiff enough to make a kit to do what you describe; you may have to get a Corbin saddle.

Someone here on the forum has a thread with details showing how he modified his seat for that very purpose.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?

You can also get a gas door in an Ultimate seat.
But I've seen someone's stock seat that's been modified like you describe, but I can't remember who it is.

It has held up fine for the last 12,000 miles
however in august I bought a new Corbin seat because I like the seat area better
I am thinking of cutting the Corbin the same way on the opposite side to check the oil

Please don't cut up that Corbin. I mean, isn't your 1330 oil tight like everyone else's?

my issue is my wife's bum knee and her strong desire to just stay seated on the bike while I fuel up. the other is wanting to stack our gear across the seat while both off the bike and my refueling. All make the raised seat a problem.

On my 2015 RTL you do not have to kill the bike to raise the seat or open the trunk. Just push on the key and rotate.

.....Here's the BAD news,....the stress the cables put on/into the ignition lock mechanism can cause the KEY to break................FIXING that problem is north of $ 400.00..........just a thought ......Mike
