Title: Broken Hinge Pin
Post by: MCrenshaw on May 10, 2014, 01:18:07 PM

The outside hinge pin on my K1100RS has broken.  Any suggestions on how to mend this?  The inside hinge pin is still functioning as well as the strut.  I suppose I can live with it but the seat is a bit floppy when opened.

A picture so we can see how it is broken would be helpful.

mine has been broke for 30,000 miles...

the solution is a threaded rod coupler jb welded and double hose clamped to the frame... then a bolt from the front into the hinge screwed into the rod coupler...

Mine is broken too, but I switched to a low seat so it doesn't matter.
