Just thought some of you may be interested in my seat modification to my 07 ec 300 seat. It involves replacing the screw tha holds the seat on with a half turn clip which means no tools to replace the air filter and much quicker.
You have to remove the exsisting retaining nut and bracket from the subframe and purchase a Honda side cover retaining pin assembly. It consists off a half turn pin retaining clip and nylon whasher 3 seperate parts approx $10:00 USD. You place the clear nylon washer over the pin so it located under the head of the pin then place it through the hole in the seat then use the large black nylon washer that was used on the original bolt to retain the pin on the underside of the seat. then cut a piece of alluminium 2mm thick 20mm x 40mm drill a 8mm hole in the centre and 4 holes for pop rivets in the corners. then slide the new clip on the alluminium bracket no need to fix it to the bracket as it is a tight fit and then rivet to the underside of the subframe. The job takes about half an hour and is weel worth the effort.
