Saddlemen Metric Cruiser Seats User Manual

DESCRIPTION: Metric Cruiser Seats PART NUMBER: All
Congratulations on choosing a new Saddlemen® seat for your motorcycle! Your
new seat is constructed with a heavy-duty plastic or fiberglass pan that is made
to install in the same way as your stock seat. Our durable rubber bumpers and
plated brackets often exceed the strength and durability of the original seat's
components. In most cases, you simply remove your stock seat (see your motor-
cycle owner's manual) and replace it with the Saddlemen seat. Seats that require
unique mounting will have instruction labels affixed to the seat or a supplemental
instruction set will be included. In most cases, your Saddlemen seat will replace
your stock seat directly, and install the very same way. Some metric motorcycles
may use additional mounting points on the side of the stock seat that are not
used with the Saddlemen seat.
Please read these instructions completely before starting installation. All "NOTE" "CAUTION" and "WARNING" notations are serious
safety issues and should be read carefully. Possible injury to riders or damage to the motorcycle and/or accessory may result if improperly
installed.
These instructions contain important information for future reference and should be given to the customer.
Because of the variety of motorcycle configurations, other accessories, and the features and intended use of this Saddlemen seat, there may be
different mounting options. You are responsible for the proper installation of this seat on your motorcycle. Your attention to these installation instruc-
tions, any additional specific instructions and recommendations will permit the safe and proper use of this seat. You must mount this seat properly
and securely before riding your motorcycle. If you lack the ability to safely and properly install this seat, seek out a qualified motorcycle technician
for assistance. During installation, you may need to support the motorcycle with a suitable stand or lift so it will not tip over and injure you, or damage
the vehicle. Using or mounting this seat improperly could result in a loss of control of the motorcycle which could result in damage to your motorcy-
cle or other personal property, the property of third parties, and/or personal injury to yourself or others, up to and including death.
BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY READ AND CLOSELY FOLLOW THE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS SEAT.
• The seat must be installed and securely fastened onto the chassis of the motorcycle. Refer to your motorcycle's Owner's Manual and/or Service Manual for
guidance.
• If you do not understand these instructions DO NOT mount the seat, and remove any related components you may have already installed on your motorcycle.
• Thoroughly inspect your motorcycle's seat before every ride. Do not use this seat if its mounting system has been modified, has deteriorated, loosened or is
beginning to fail.
• Continually check the security of your seat and other accessories at each stop as you ride. Items attached to your motorcycle can loosen during operation, so be
sure to check them frequently.
• Do not use this seat if you have any doubts as to whether it is properly mounted to your motorcycle. You must be sure that the installation of the seat will not
damage your motorcycle's painted or plated parts. Saddlemen is not responsible if you or your technician mount the seat and it damages your motorcycle for
any reason.
• When using any accessory, do not exceed your vehicle's Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight as listed on your motorcycle or in the manufacturer's owner's manual.
• If your seat is ever damaged, do not use it until it has been inspected by your local professional motorcycle dealer. You may also need to send your seat to Sad-
dlemen for inspection or repair. Replace any mounting part immediately if it has sustained damage that will prevent the seat from being properly secured to your
motorcycle.
