FAQs
Does this kit include the actual backrest cushion?
No, this product includes only the mounting hardware. The backrest cushion is sold separately.
Is this compatible with other Zontes models?
No, this kit is specifically designed for the Zontes 368 G. Do not attempt to fit it on other models as dimensions will not align.
Do I need special tools to install this?
Standard motorcycle tools such as metric hex keys and socket wrenches are typically sufficient for installation.
Will this affect my passenger's ability to mount the bike?
Generally, no. The backrest is positioned to support the lower back while still allowing enough clearance for the passenger to mount and dismount safely.
Is the installation permanent?
While the kit is sturdy, it can be removed if necessary, though it is intended to remain on the bike for consistent passenger support.
Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning installation, ensure you have a standard set of motorcycle tools, including metric hex keys and wrenches.
- Locate the designated mounting points under the seat or rear plastics of the Zontes 368 G as indicated in your bike's service manual.
- Align the mounting bracket with the factory-drilled holes.
- Tighten all hardware to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications to prevent vibration loosening.

For maintenance, periodically inspect the bolts after the first 500 miles of riding to ensure they remain secure. Clean the bracket during your regular bike wash using mild soap and water to prevent surface corrosion.
