For customers and workshops, this part is best understood as the seat latch catch hook, seat lock hook, seat striker hook, or seat retaining catch.

What This Part Does

The seat catch hook forms one side of the mechanical seat-locking interface. When the seat is pushed into position, the hook / striker engages with the corresponding seat latch or lock mechanism, allowing the seat to be retained securely on the motorcycle.

Common Reasons for Replacement

• Seat no longer locks securely into position
• Catch hook is bent after forcing or incorrect seat installation
• Hook is worn or damaged after repeated use
• Seat has excessive movement because the retaining point is damaged
• Part is missing after seat, tail-section or body-panel repair
• Seat-lock system is being restored after accident damage

Important – Hook / Catch Only

HDHR4AAB4U009000GS is the seat catch hook only. It is not the complete seat-lock mechanism, seat-release cable, key cylinder, or complete seat assembly.

Do not confuse this product with:

• Seat lock cable / seat release cable
• Complete seat latch or lock mechanism
• Seat key / lock cylinder
• Complete seat assembly
• Under-seat cover
• Seat mounting bracket
• Body-panel or tail-section hardware

• An incorrect hook may prevent the seat from locking
• Wrong geometry can create excessive seat movement or poor latch engagement
• Exact OEM identification reduces wrong-order and installation problems
• No cutting, bending or improvised modification should be required when the correct part is used
