evidently just above those 2 big chrome bolts is a smaller 8mm black one that is easier to remove, unfortunately my tool bucket with its misc girl tools doesn't have a socket that fits those big ones, but I got the seat off, and had to replace the battery.  the other one after trickle charging on a battery tender for 3 days would not pass a load test.  YAY for my working at a dealership employee discount.  Now we start and run just fine, reparked and recovered the truck, and I am back on the bike!! Bikers RIDE baby, Bikers RIDE!!

my birthday is coming up, so I have hinted to the hubby I don't have enough of the right tools.  We will see how that goes

maggie, you'll see 2 chrome bolts direct;y under the seat(in my picture). remove both sides, then the cover over the battery box.

There is a triangular piece on each side of the bike at the side of the seat. The bottom of the pieces have two bolts holding them to the frame. there is one bolt in the top section of each  piece. These are the bolts that you remove to take off the seat.

ok, I have a 2002 800 drifter, with the fringed solo seat, how does this thing come off?
silly story, the other day when I came home I didn't get the key turned off all the way so now the battery is dead. My mechanic says he put on one of those deltran connectors so I can hook up my battery tender but I can't find where he hid it, so I thought I could trace it out off the battery......the battery does hide under the seat right? help? I know, its sad, I work at the bike shop but that alone says how spoiled I am, those guys take such good care of me, barring my own stupidity.
