MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION
- Place your motorcycle on its center stand. Remove the Allen head bolts that fasten the passenger handrails to the seat (two on each side). Leave the handrails in place, but set the bolts aside – they will not be needed for backrest installation.
- Fasten the left and right-hand mount assemblies to the seat as shown, using the 8 x 90mm bolts, 5/16” flat washers, and 1 ¼” spacers provided. Tighten all four bolts securely.
- Separate the two halves of the tube sleeves, and then slide them, snap-end first, onto the backrest tube. Rejoin them at the center with the snaps.

- Fasten the pad assembly to the aluminum tongue on the backrest tube, using the 2 ¾” bolt and lock nut provided. Tighten this bolt just enough to allow the pad to pivot freely (this will allow the pad to conform the angle of your back at all times).
- Make sure the two adjustment knobs are loose, and then slide the assembled backrest tube into the mounts. Tighten the adjustment knobs till snug and installation is complete.
NOTE: Now that your backrest is installed, recheck the tightness of the two ¼” pivot bolts. The top bolt should be tightened so the pad pivots freely, while the bottom bolt should be snug enough to keep the pad from falling forward, yet allow the pad to swing forward for ease of passenger boarding. To adjust your backrest, simply loosen the two adjustment knobs and slide the tube fore or aft to suit your riding style. This is easily accomplished while sitting on the bike. Once you have found a comfortable position, just retighten the adjustment knobs. If for some reason you remove the adjustment knobs from the mount assemblies, be careful not to lose the black plastic collars that fit inside. The backrest tube will not lock in place if either of these collars is missing.
