Product Information

The Heavy Duty Solo Seat Hinge is designed to create a clean, springless mounting interface for universal solo seats on Harley-Davidson Sportster models.

CNC-cut from heavy-duty steel, the hinge bolts directly to the lower gas tank mount, forming a secure pivot point while eliminating the bulk and movement associated with spring-mounted seat designs.

Its rigid construction supports a minimalist aesthetic commonly found on bobber and stripped-down custom builds. Available in raw or powder-coated finishes, the hinge integrates seamlessly into a wide range of seat styles and fabrication approaches.

Universal compatibility and a direct bolt-on installation make this hinge ideal for builders seeking a strong, simplified solo seat solution without modifying the frame.

No. This hinge is intended for springless installations.

What tools are required for installation?

Basic hand tools such as Allen keys and a socket wrench.

Does the hinge include seat-side mounting hardware?

Innovation Meets Passion

Made in the USA

Founded in 2013 by Mike Le, Kinetic Motorcycles was built on a simple belief: motorcycle parts aren't generic hardware — they're personal. Every product begins as an original idea, designed by Mike and developed entirely in-house.

We don't rely on templates or outsourced shortcuts. Each part is shipped by hands-on fabrication experience and time spent riding, testing, and refining. Whether you're dialing in a daily rider or building something truly your own, our focus is the same — create parts that feel intentional, functional, and worthy of your motorcycle.

What Our Customers Say

Really happy with the product. Took a while to get my order but they were out of the spark plug cables I ordered. I had to email and inquire what the deal was. They were super helpful once I initiated communication. Would have been cool to get some swag or something since they took so long. But the relocator is great. I really love it. And they responded promptly once I reached out to them. Their customer service is truly fantastic.

I had some questions on some bars, so I DMd them on Instagram. The dude I talked to was super helpful. I purchased the shirt because of his response. I’ll rep the brand due to the customer service.
