I have the rider and passenger seat off. Now what do I need to do? Do I remove the 2 star bolts on the left side of the metal plate? Or what?

Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Decide which method you want to use to remove your old motorcycle
grips. There are three methods in which you can use. The quickest would
be with a razor blade. However, if you fear scratching the chrome or
wires are underneath the grips, this may not be the best choice. An air
compressor can help slide the motorcycle grips off with ease. However,
if they are attached with adhesive, you may need to loosen the glue. A
flat-head screwdriver may be your best bet with wires and glue. You can
ease the screwdriver between the grip and the bar and pry it up gently
without cutting wires or damaging the chrome.
Step2
Pop off the bar end of the motorcycle handle. With a flat-head
screwdriver, this should be simple. Be careful not to damage these
pieces. The threads must be in tack to put them back on. If they become
damaged, you will need to replace them.
Step3
Using the desired method in step 1, remove the old motorcycle grips.
Step4
Clean the old glue from the handle. This can be accomplished with any
type of glue cleaner and a little elbow grease. When the glue has been
removed, dry the handlebar completely with a soft cloth towel.
Step5
Soak your new motorcycle grips in warm water to loosen them up a little
bit. This will make it easier to install the grips quickly.
Step6
Use your grip glue. You will want to add this around your handlebar
where the grip will be placed. You will want to do this one side at a
time. There are several methods that are recommended for this task.
However, Pro Taper Glue seems to be the most recommended.
Step7
Slide the motorcycle grips on each side. When they were soaked in warm
water, it will be simpler to slide them on. Again, do one side first,
then the other.
Step8
Remove the excess glue and water with your cotton towel. This will
clean up any mess left behind and give your motorcycle a pristine look.
Step9
Let the glue dry for at least a couple of hours. The recommend time can be found on the glue of your choice.
Step10
Replace the bar end gently. Be sure to screw it in until it cannot pop off again.

There are two screws below the rubber stem fixed it to the frame. You can hardly see them from any angle but can reach them through the two round openings next to the stem. Use a small wrench, through the openings, to access and remove the screws, then you can remove the stem. However, keep the entire police seat assembly since you might want to put it back like what I am doing now. I tried serveral Harley and other brands seat, high or low profile, and found the police seat is the most interesting seat to ride with.
