My 93 F2 does not have easily accessable under seat storage. Does anyone know a way to modify it so that i can have a pop off seat and be able to store items under the seat?

 

you could drill holes through your plastic where the bolts for the seat are, then replace said bolts with a locking pin thatcan be easily be removed when you want to, but will stay in place while riding. Then fab a box out of sheetmetal to replace your factory battery box and extend it to include that little "put the bolts for your seat here" tray. I thought about doing it but since I just got the bike, I'd rather spend more time on than off right now

 

A couple of solenoids on a diy bracket under the seat does the job aswell.
Remove the factory bolts for attaching the seat and replace them with the soledoids.

Wire these to a switch up front and you got yourself an electrical seat-opener.

hope that helps

 

BLKF2....that's pretty cool...

 

i thought it was pretty cool too.. i haven orderd one yet but it is in the plans..

 

my bike came with that!!!

 

Well my plans will be for a DIY project for the winter. It's hopefully gonna be cheap and work great.... not like those two things really go together. If anyone has DIY plans that would be great.

 

Yeah Viking, you sound like you've done this yourself, and you definitelyhave the electronics knowledge. How about you hook us up with some more detailed info!?

 

Havent actually done it myself yet. Just made up the plans in my mind. Ive attached a quick'n'dirty drawing to explain.

The solenoid is basically an electromagnet. Normally the shaft is held in its outmost position by the tension of a spring.
The Soledois is mounted so that the shaft passes through both the fixing hole in the seat and the frame.

When the switch is pressed, current passes through the solenoid causing the shaft to retract. Hey Presto! Your seat is unlocked.

(You then of course need 2 solenoids and wire the battery in series with the switch to get the current needed).
