Handle Under The Pillion Seat
Yes I am an SV newbie and this may be a silly question !!
I am in the process of installing a new tail tidy on my K4 Naked. Under the pillion seat is a round handle with a rod running from in it down the inside of the rear fender. Can anyone please tell me what it is and what is it for !! Many thanks in advance Andy

Re: Handle Under The Pillion Seat
sounds like you're desribing the pillion seat catch and cable. That rod you desribe could be the hounsing for the locking cable. Simple to check, with the seat off - turn your key in the lock and see if you can see it moving.
