went to triumphinstructions.com, but there isn't an instruction sheet for the seat ring. I know it uses the two top shock bolts to secure the ring as well as the regular seat bolt. can I remove the two top shock bolts with the bike on it's side stand without any problems? any info will be appreciated.
Thanks.

The bolts merely secure the shocks on their posts, do the mount tabs on the ring go behind/inboard the shocks? Even if they do, jack up the frame to the proper elevation, and install away.

Nope... it bolts onto the outside flange of the upper shock mounting pegs.It takes a good amount of effort to remove the shocks from their mounts so they don't just fall off.. I've installed several of them, takes about five minutes.

I put on/take off my chrome seat rail A LOT! Surely more than anyone. I ALWAYS take BOTH upper shock bolts out at the same time, while leaning on the kick stand, and NO, you'll NEVER have a problem.  Don't you have to use leverage to get the shocks off the mount when you need to!??  Peace! 
And you may see me tonight

i think i was a little confused as to what was happening here, but now that I understand I will claim that that is what I meant all along.
