Default RE: Rider Backrest

Hi.
Remove one of the saddle bags, the one opposite the side stand is easiest( open saddle bag and rotate the two slotted head quick release boltsanti clockwise) and remove the saddle bag , better to have two people do this so that the saddle bag will not get scratchedand unbolt the bracket holding the passenger grab strap in place. (make sure metal bracket does not damage your new paint work. ) Now open the tour pak lid and remove the screw holding the seat in place ( the screw is located at the rear fender between the back of the seat and front of the tourpack). Now lift and slide the seat toward the tour pak and remove ( Dont damage the tour pak paint with the seat bracket). Fit back reat as per the instructions and reverse the procedure for removing the seat.
Have Fun
Thanks
Liam
