Subject: Interference of Dual Seat with Gas Tank
Dear Dealer:
In isolated cases, it is possible that the dual seat front edge
rubs against the gas tank damaging the paint or allowing the
seat cover to be torn, as per enclosed picture.
We recommend that upon receipt of a new motorcycle, to check
out this problem, and modify as follows:
1.) After you have determined where and by how much
the alteration should take place, _remove the seat.
2.) Remove the pop rivets on the front nose section.
3.) With the help of a blunt instrument, separate the
seat cover from the metal frame enough to reveal
the nose or front of the seat frame section to be
reworked.
4.) Remove the determined amount of metal.
5.) Round off all sharp edges; cover the edges with
tape to protect the seat cover for re-installation.
~he foam rubber does not have to be cut or altered.
6.) The seat cover can now be re-glued to the metal frame
by using an appropriate glue.
7.) Replace the pop rivets.
8.) Re-install dual seat and check clearances again.
‘fhe al tera t.i.on is covered by our normal warranty for labor only,
allotr~d time is 40 minutes.

is an equal gap along
the contour of the gas
