How I did my seat quick-release

(1/6) > >>

DonTom:
I just got done making a quick-release for my 2017 Zero DS ZF 6.5 seat. I will do the same later with my 2017 Zero SR w/ pwr tank later, when I get back to Auburn where I keep that bike.

Travel trunk rack is REQUIRED to do below.

Parts needed (1 ea of all below).

1.  Black Stanley gate hinge.

2.  2.5" or 3" Universal Clevis Pin 7/16" x 3" (7/16 x 2.5 " will also work).

3. 3/8" hitch pin.

4. A wood type bolt / screw to mount the hinge to the seat. Do not overtighen. Keep it loose, that's all that is needed.

5. A couple of small machine screws, washers  and nuts to mount hinge bracket under travel trunk mount.

There are no mods to the bike and only one hold drilled into the bottom of the seat.

The seat can be removed in ten seconds. Perhaps 20 seconds to get seat back in place.

If you do not want the seat to be that easy to remove  with no tools required, simply use a bolt with a castle nut (or whatever) in place of the Clevis pin.

All this stuff can be purchased at Home Depot.

Attached are several photos of what I did (in the next several posts).
