hi there, if its anything like my vz 1600, there was one bolt ( approx 8mm ) at the rear of the seat bolted through the fender, then if you remove both side panels there are usually 2 bolts one on either side bolted through a bracket connected to the seat straight into the frame, hope this helps Thumbs Up

on my virago I used to have to release it using the key then sliding it off, it was the 535 so not sure if the 1100 is the same

i think its different drobs, as he has a bolt holding the back of the seat down, like mine, so hopefully it will be the same kind of application

I know this may be a bit controversial. But have you tried looking in the owners manual? It's probably under the seat.

am not sure you would have to blow it up twice? unless it is a very very nasty bolt?
