The specification for fasteners securing the rider’s or passenger’s perch to the motorcycle frame is a crucial detail for owners and technicians. These dimensions dictate the proper replacement component to ensure safe and secure seating. Incorrect dimensions may lead to instability or failure, potentially causing hazardous situations for the rider.
Properly specified and torqued fasteners contribute significantly to rider safety and comfort. A secure seat prevents unwanted movement during operation, enhancing control and reducing fatigue. Historically, these fasteners have evolved in materials and design to meet increasing demands for durability and vibration resistance, reflecting advancements in motorcycle engineering.
