I finally got my hands on an 1100F after looking for an affordable option for 7 or 8 months. I brought this one home yesterday from NC.
My first plans are to just clean her up and get a new seat cover.
I have a few newbie questions though (I'm sure there will be more)
Is there somewhere to download an online manual or should I get a factory one?
And how do I get the seat off?? I've looked in the owner's manual, searched here and the web, but can't find the answer. |

The seat comes off with two bolts, need to take the side covers off to access these. |

Ahhh, got it, thanks!
I was looking for a lever or release of some kind. |

Thanks, I had to open it with a laptop. I couldn't do it on my tablet or phone. |

The only thing I can see right off that is not original is the mirrors. Everything else looks good; original exhaust, has air box, handle bars, fuse cover, original turn signals.. I'd keep it that way..
I got an 1100F re-pop seat cover from Pit Replicas, you can find them on Ebay...
Nice find, it has a lot going for it.. |

Thanks. I plan on keeping it as original as possible.
I'll be ordering a seat cover soon. I knew the left mirror was not original, is the right side incorrect also? |

That was likely Paul and Rodney I'd bet.
Both GOOD PEOPLE who can be VERY HELPFUL to you.
All the best |
