installed mustang seat

[shortleg0521]

I just installed my mustang seat, and you are right getting
bolts in could be a pain. I just used a few screw drivers through the seat
to keep the bolt holes lined up and it went in .
The other things I found to be true is the catch at the front should be a bit lower
to allow it to catch the bar at the front. It all so is a bit of a pain to line up the release for
the bags.
But if you take your time it can be done.
I will add I had just taken my meds so it seemed easier than normal!

Installing mine the first time was a royal pain. The rear of the seat is just too wide for the hand rails.

But, after being on for months, the seat foam has conformed and the seat comes off and goes back on real easily now (with the stock bolts). Yea!!

I am hopeful that I have the same results. My seat has been on now for about 3,000 miles and was a royal "PITA" to install the first time. I do have the newer style long bolts now and plan to install them when the weather gets warmer...RickW at Value Accessories says the up-dated bolts work great....I sure hope so!!!

Having put an Ultimate on my F6B & now just installed the Mustang on the wife's B I found a little tip.
When you have the seat off, chase the threads on the seat mounts. They seem to be a bit tight from the factory. Also dab some anti-seize on the bolt threads.
Makes reassembly a bit easier.

Use the new tapered seat bolts! I bought the new style bolts and Mustang seat a couple of weeks ago, install took about 10 minutes total. Bolts went in and lined up quite well first time around. This was the first time to remove the oem seat so everything was still tight but with the new tapered bolts the install was absolutely no problem.

Would this be the "Tip" you are referring to?

Used the stock bolts with anti seize and tapped the bosses like mentioned. Using screwdrivers or wooden dowel to line up the holes makes it a breeze.
