What is the trick to remove and re-install the seat?  Has anybody come up with a way that works better than stock?

Both my Zero bikes (2017 DS & 2017SR) have the same issue. I own 8 motorcycles and six of them I can remove the seat in five seconds or less. The two Zeros can take me an hour just to get the seat off and on.

On both Zeros, I have the travel trunk installed that probably is making it a lot more difficult to get the two bolts out of the TT rack. Is there a fix or a trick so it doesn't take so long to remove and put back the seat?

Thanks for passing on that great info! I now have my seat off and I refuse to put it back on the stock way! Your links gave me some great ideas, even if  if I don't follow them exactly. Thanks again.
