Anyone ever installed one of these? How big a job is it and how long should it take? I'm picking one of these up today and will try to get it on the bike this weekend.

Thanks.

 

Very straight forward install, shouldn't take more than a half hour

 

Not a problem easy mod and really helps with rider comfort on a long ride. If you can follow simple instructions it's a breeze!

yep 30-45 minutes if you know your way around tools AND READ DIRECTIONS!!!

 

Im no master mechanic but I can turn a wrench when I need to. Now as for following directions... LOL

 

Here is an article with some pictures which might clear up some of the installation questions.

Pretty easy to install got one on my ultra and love it. I ride solo a lot and it's great. Not as nice as having a nice comfortable passenger but not far off. Lol

 

When I took mine off my road king to put on my new bike I noticed the cable had wore the paint off the rear fender pretty good. So when I installed it on the new bike I took some of that thick double sided tape and stuck it on the fender where the cable will rub it to protect the fender. Not a big deal since i'm not going to put a solo seat on my bike. Just thought I would throw that out there.

 

Good to know, I probably would not have thought of that until it was too late. Thanks.

 

Great article. Pictures make it so much easier. Thanks!
