Default Putting a backrest on my 11 Super Glide
So I am gonna be putting a backrest on my 11 Super Glide so the wife is more comfortable. Anybody put one on can offer any tips or hints to make things go smoothly? I am an auto mechanic so I am pretty handy, just wanted to know if there is anything I should be ready for? Thanks!
