1984 vf500f seat removal

Hey guys, may seem silly but I need to know how the seat is removed from these bikes. In my defense, my bike is at my bro-in-laws, which is almost 3000kms away! He can't figure how to remove it. I did a search but nothing. Is it using the helmet holder like a lot of bikes?

BTW, this bike has the seat cowl too, seems these are kinda rare.

Thanks

Anybody???

 

Remove the R & L side covers. Unlock the helmet holder. There are two lock levers located a little past halfway back from the front of the seat just under the edge of the seat. Pull the levers back and pull the seat back and up.

 

Completely remove the cowl first. You will be very unhappy if it gets damaged.

 

Thanks guys, much appreciated.
