How difficult is seat installation supposed to be ?

I bought a 1990 cb1 one week ago and my seat is difficult to install. I am starting to think my rear frame may be bent down a little.I also dont like how the tail section aligns with the seat. I will post pictures later but any input would be helpful. Thanks

My seat is quite hard to remove and install requiring a lot of downward force where the clips fit under the bars. My bike has never been hit or damaged so I think it is probably not unusual. When you post pics I will compare with mine and let you know.

Aye, mines the same, I have to undo the lock then bang it quite hard in the centre with one hand while pushing it back with the other. A bit of grease on the latch might help a bit.
