A.  Baseplate Features (Click on picture for a larger view)


The one-piece, marine-grade fiberglass baseplate is a direct replacement for the stock baseplate. Rubber bumpers are positioned to prevent the seat from touching the frame and fender.

B.   Removal of Stock Seat (Click on a picture for a larger view)

 
1. Remove 6mm mounting bolt on each side.
2. Slide seat back, then up to remove.


C.   Mounting of Mustang Seat (Click on a picture for a larger view)

 
1. Slide tongue at seat nose under formed tunnel in frame behind tank (see arrow).
 
2. Make sure rear fork brackets slide under studs in fender.

 

 

 

3. Push seat forward about 1/4".  Install a bolt on one side leaving it a little loose, then go to the other side and install that bolt.
4. Tighten bolts evenly--a little on one side, then the other. (If one bolt is completely tightened first, it will cock the seat to one side, making the other bolt hard to install.)
A 1/4" space between the side brackets and the frame is needed to put pressure on the nose bracket as the screws are tightened.

Important: The seat centers itself to the gas tank, not the side covers.
(The left side cover is 1/2" to 5/8" wider.)

Enjoy the comfort of your new Mustang seat.
