C. Mounting of Mustang Solo Seat

Hardware included:
1999-up - two black nylon shoulder washers
1997-98 - two black flat nylon washers
Black tie wraps

1.Engage nose of seat, pushing seat as far forward as possible so that the mounting holes/studs in the fender are in the middle to back edge of the slotted tabs.
2. A firm downward chop to the nose of the seat will push the seat closer to the chrome dash.
3. Seat is spring loaded for a tight fit so the mounting tabs will be approximately 1"-1.5" above the fender.
4. The supplied nylon washers go between the mounting tabs and the fender.
5. Start one mounting bolt/nut to finger tight and then do second, secure both.
6. 1997-98 models require that the black retention clip must be left in place to hold the nut insert in fender. 1997-98 models require seat mounting bolts (Mustang part #78028) or stock H-D.
7. On 1999-up models the studs in the fender have some movement to help with lining up the tabs.
1999-up models require Road King seat mounting nuts (Mustang part #78032 or stock H-D). (FIG. 1)

* If there is a gap between the nose of the driver seat and the dash, be sure seat is as far forward as possible and adjust the chrome dash.
