RE: backrest
Hay Key I hve a 99Clasic too. I am going from memory. you take off the seat. Then there is a bolt to remove from each side of thebackrest holder and a bolt an nut in the arm off the front that has several holes in it. So you got 2 bolts and a bolt an nut to remove and the backrest holder lifts right out.
Yours could possibley be different. but it should be right there

RE: backrest
I have a99 ultra, and would assume they are the same set up. Like Denny said, you reach down into the crack and the two rods that come up that the backrest is attached to, are spring load. They squeeze together, and two nubs, that are on the outside and endof the rods, come out of holes that aremounted inunder the seat, pull up and out of the seat with the two rods squeezed together.
Look in a harley catalog and you should see the spring loaded rods with the nubs, and maybe the mount that it goes into, for an idea on the concept this operates under. Very simple.
It's probably adjustable also. On mine there are 3 or 4 different elevations of holes to raise or lower the backrest.
You don't have to remove the seat to do this, cause the seat won't come off with the back rest on.
