;Goal
: Most motorcycle manufacturers offer a secure but quick seat release using the ignition key.
;Motivation
: Accessing the 12V fuse panel without a special tool on the road is the most common use-case.
: Accessing the [[OBD-II Port Location|OBD-II port]] for data logging, diagnostics, or iterative modification is less common but important for supporting other modifications.
;Overview
# Unbolt the bracket from the seat pan.
#: Zero uses T45 Torx bolts to [[SDS Platform/Seat|secure the seat]] via a metal bracket.
#: Use the bracket in place to anchor the existing seat bolts which stabilize the [[Aftermarket#Hard_Cases|top rack and/or side racks]].
# Create a new fastening joint by making a hole in the seat pan.
# Create a place for the quick-release control to emerge from the frame around the tail.
# Use a quick-release pin to control it through this opening.
