By "Hinge clip" are you referring to the split plastic tube that slips over the hinge pin? __________________ '04 VRSCB, SERF, Amsoil Hi-flo air filter & oil, Drilled Exhaust, Arlen Ness Mirrors, relocated Signals, Sundowner seat, Sport wind deflector, Tiger Racing belt guards, Pondo's pivot bolt covers and 'V' valve stem caps, Tyson's black riser and foot levers, Metzler ME 880's, black 5 spoke '08D wheels and rear pulley, Mini LED rear signals, Progressive front springs and Black 440 shocks, Jeannie Guardian Bell!(so far!)

Got it from a British site. | | | | | 01-22-2012, 07:08 PM | #8 | | Premium Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Palm Bay,FL. Posts: 410 Feedback Score: 3 reviews | Here's a easy cheap fix. Get a 1ft length of automotive 5/32" vacum hose cut it the same length as the distance between pivot points. Then cut the small section long ways "straight" and "VIOLA", you'll probably get 6-8 of them for the $1.00 price of that 1ft hose. Ken __________________

How can that possibly be the right part# with the last two digits being "87". The last 2 digits of HD's pt#'s denote the yr it was brought into inception(unless on a stretch it was used for something else). __________________

Yeah, I thought that too, but being a british site they could have it contorted. Maybe something in the translation! Made a mistake: last two digits are listed on jerseyh-d.com as 82

If it was a new seat they come with a new sleeve. __________________

The seat hinge "sleeve" (HD P/N 52041-82) will last about 5 years (maybe less) before splitting from use and embrittlement as the plasticizers evaporate. I replaced this part with a piece of nylon reinforced tygon tubing cut to resemble the 52041-82 part, as K-wrench mentioned previously, and this worked fine until I read a post here that suggested just throwing it away. This sleeve on the seat hinge is like adding a belt to pants with suspenders. The lanyard is also not needed and these things just make removing the seat a PITA. I've since removed both parts and haven't missed these for more than 2 years. |  | | | Sponsored Links | | Advertisement
