Can anyone give me some answers on this backrest? It's a Corbin and the website says the angle is adjustable. I tried to loosen the screw in the back with a Allen wrench, but it won't budge. Is it just a matter of loosening this screw? I don't see any other way to adjust the angle. Maybe this one isn't adjustable?
you could contact Corbin for better instructions, but I think what purpledeuce posted is about right. If it is maybe one of your friends has a vise and could use that to hold the metal strip/bracket to bend the cushion to what you need?

From my limited experience Corbin customer service is a joke. Unless you're the original purchaser they will not help, even if you are they still won't help
Having a similar problem, this is what we did to a backrest to move the pad back two inches and down two inches. Bent around a 3/4" radius then cut and welded the metal part.
Lol. I'll try to find installation instructions. Google hasn't been helpful so far either. I've found pics of instructions but I can't read them due to the poor quality of those photos. If all else fails, the positioning is only a minor irritant.

The backrest is positioned, height wise, relatively well. It's the angle that's off. The top of the rest digs into my spine and the bottom barely skims at all. There is space between my back and the lower portion of the backrest.

Yes the top of the backrest pad on my mine did a similar thing. Top of the backrest pad hit me between my shoulder blades and pushed me more forward than is comfortable TO ME. Moving pad back and down was my solution. My motor is a 2014 SGS and backrest is HD Adjustable Backrest. Just sayin' what was done to mine.
