If memory serves and without going to look at mine. I believe there is a Virago label on the rear of the seat. Beneath that is a bolt which you need to remove and then slide the seat back about 1/2 inch then lift up. Hope I am right. If you can't get it, I will go look at mine. Funny how something so simple can tax ones memory....................
