back rest.
Insert the collars into the seat mounting
grommets with the larger diameter flange
opposite the flange on the grommet. Do this
for all four grommets.
Insert a seat grommet into each of the
mounting holes in the seat. Be sure the
portion of the grommet without the flange is
positioned toward the seat base.
Remove the protective plastic from the seat
and position the seat on the motorcycle by
slipping the front prong under the frame stay
and the two upper tabs into the slots in the
upper shelter.
Before attaching the seat, thread the seat
mounting bolts into the frame to be sure
the threads are clean. If the bolts do not
thread in easily, clear the threaded hole with
an 8 mm x 1.25 thread tap.
Attach the passenger grips and the seat to the
motorcycle using two 8 x 70 mm socket bolts
on each side. Torque the bolts.
