    Removing seat, 85GS550L

    I'm quite sure this has been discussed before. I searched, but couldn't find it. My apologies if it is a duplicate newbie question.

    I acquired an 85 Suzuki GS550L yesterday evening. As I begin working on it this morning, I have yet to figure out how to remove the seat. Looking at some online parts diagrams, it would appear that the left helmet lock also operates the seat lock via a cable. Is that correct? ...and if so, how do I remove the seat if that doesn't work? I'm thinking the cable is snapped and/or an alignment problem with the latch that is preventing me from pulling it off.

    Any tips, tricks, magic spells to cast, in order to remove this seat?

    Never mind. I got it. I removed the side plate/rail so that I could access the cable/latch. Thanks!
