Help Me; I'm a Retard

[murf425]

So last night I finished up painting my fairings, and started installing them.  I realized this morning, when I got to work and tried to lock my helmet, that I forgot to connect the lock cable.  *face palm*

Is there ANY way to access that lock to disengage it!?

If you're saying the end of the cable at the seat lock is not connected, I can think of 2 ways at this early time of the morning:\

1. Use tiny hand to reach up and pull the lock or connect any type of cable so you have something to pull on.

2. The rear fender is held on by 3 or 5 screws. It is really simple to remove the rear fender enough so you can get at the seat lock. You do not have to remove the rear tire. I've replaced rear fenders without removing the rear tire, though the seat was off in order to change the wiring. That won't mater in your case.

2a: that might give access to remove the 2 screws that hold the lock to the seat (its raining outside and I'm tired so I don't know for sure)

3. Buy an extra bike

Oh man haha that's quite the problem to have.

I'll 2nd removing the undertray. There's a few bolts on the bottom into the subframe, and one way up in the front by the rear shock. I can't remember if the fairings actually attach to the under tray at all, but I don't think they do.

Almost same thing happened to me, it was embarrassing. I had a pencil case like container in my under-seat storage with some vital things I didn't want falling out by chance so I clipped it to what I didn't realize was part of the locking mechanism. Needless to say the clip blocked the mechanism from unlocking and thus kept the seat on firmly. After 30 mins of trying to wrestle my bear paws under the seat I recruited some smalled hand help haha. My seat was pretty flexible and let me get my hands under even locked (even though I thought it was going to snap any minute).

I believe it can be opened with a L shaped pick. I mean a steel needle with a small 90 degree bend @ the tip.
Cool.

Tail fairings fasten to the frame, not the under tail. Undertail just bolts to the frame The back 2 screws way up on a recess in the end of the tail only hold the bracket for the tool kit. There's one screw in the front middle and only 1 or two on each side you get at from underneath. Real easy to remove with a socket wrench.
