Congratulations on choosing a new Saddlemen® Road Sofa for your GL1800. This seat has been designed to provide a longer, more comfort-
able ride so you can enjoy your motorcycle even more. 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 motorcycle's owner's manual) and replace it
with the new Road Sofa. 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.
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 instructions, any addition-
al 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 motorcycle or other personal property, the property of third
parties, and/or personal injury to yourself or others, up to and including death.
