But, on the other hand, i was doing what GN2 proposed since day two (on the first i was extra careful). Common sense. Sadle is closing only when parked on the side stand (double force for the opener dumper since is on the left), uphill and with head wind.
Has the new damper continued to hold the seat up? Is it a simple(?) replacement for the original? Seem I recall reading somewhere that Honda has a replacement damper but that other parts are needed to use it. ??? Thanks

Yup!

Fourth post (or so) down. In fact, it holds up the seat at 20F even with my lighting installed under there, so all is great
On my scoot, getting there is WAY more than half the fun!

I installed a marine hatch spring to hold the thing up:

I replaced the original one (2014 Forza) with Honda's new part a year or two ago...seat now always stays up all the time!!! Makes the scoot much more enjoyable to use everyday.

Go back to the first page of this thread. I posted several pix of my install.

Traded in: 2003 GL1800 with 152K and several IBA rides on the clock
6 other previous bikes
nearly 3/4 million miles logged
now just commuting instead of touring
