The GW Tuck Roll Double Seat is a two-up seat for the Harley-Davidson RH975/Nightster.
This article walks you through removing the stock seat, installing the insert nut, securing the hinge and cable, checking the latch position, and final tightening.
01 Removing the stock seat
Remove the stock seat. It comes off by detaching the cable and the two bolts at the hinge.
02 Installing the seat insert nut
Install the included seat insert nut from underneath the fender and hold it in place with the clip.
03 Installing the seat
-
Attach the hinge to the frame using the stock bolts. Keep the bolts just snug for now.
-
Attach the cable to the bike the same way as stock.
-
Once it's loosely fitted, slowly close the seat and check its position against the latch. If it locks with a light push, you're good.
-
Once the position is confirmed, tighten down the hinge bolts.
- Secure it with the included quick-mount screw.
Other screws will also work as long as they match the insert nut's thread pitch. However, the Nightster requires removing the seat to refuel, so we recommend the quick-mount screw, which comes off without tools. It can work loose, so check it each time.
Use threadlocker as needed during installation. Explanations of tools and general wiring work are omitted. Minor adjustments or workarounds may be needed due to individual differences between bikes. If you are unsure about the swap, be sure to have it done by someone experienced or by a custom shop. For any questions about the swap, please reach us through our contact form.
