Congratulations on choosing a new Saddlemen® Solo 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 a stock Harley® solo seat. Our durable rubber bumpers
and plated brackets often exceed the strength and durability of the original seat’s
components. Inside, Saddlemen's GelCore® technology makes this the most com-
fortable seat you can buy.
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 seat 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 motorcy-
cle’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 Saddlemen 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.
PASSENGER GRAB STRAP: This accessory seat is provided without a passenger grab strap. Carrying a passenger without a grab strap in place on your motorcycle may be hazardous
for the passenger. Grab straps, rear mounted foot pegs, sissy bars, passenger backrests and trunks aid in making a passenger more secure on the vehicle. Laws in some jurisdictions
require grab straps or other security devices when a passenger is transported. Do not transport a passenger if they are not secure. A passenger seat must be installed on the motorcy-
cle to transport a passenger. Do not disable grab straps or other safety features provided on your motorcycle and obey all traffic laws while riding.
Saddlemen offers a complimentary grab strap for this seat, part no. 15327. Call (310) 638-1222 for more information. Always ride responsibly and take precautions to be sure your
passenger is secure and comfortable at all times.
