Yes - Usually on my longest rides I’m camping at the other end so have a swag on the back to lean on and it makes a big difference comfort wise ......be nice to have that comfort everywhere, and having installed this backrest, it’s hard to see it coming off now. Plus, I do have a back that needs some lovin......getting older sucks!

Just wanted to let folks with CVO style saddles know that backrest ARE available.....

Watched as the 5th radio installed in my bike just fogged up. First time I've touched or been on the bike since riding it home from the shop a couple of weeks or so ago. Damn Chinese junk!!!!

It took them 4 radios from MoCo to even get one that worked! I may try to get them to do the 6.5 now and I'll pay the difference. This is BS!

Hopefully that’s doable! I went through 3 gauges until I got one that would clear without residue.......perseverance! It is the key with these things......

I will put this here note at 4.29 and 5.57 how many TSB's there are other than 1450,which is the doom sets main argument,there's about 30 of them for the M8's from memory.No one is screaming about TSB 1451 the fuel cap TSB or TSB1452 the Softail Initial care Program.Also note to get to 1450 you had to get 1449 and before that , you get the idea.I'm sure. I've left it here for the guys actually riding and maintaining these beautiful bikes. . .

This is available to all of you if you follow the instructions.
Peace HTH.

Thanks for finding that! I bought the service manual long ago, but being able to access and see the various service bulletins is very interesting indeed, and hopefully will bring perspective to those who think that "just because a service bulletin exists must be proof positive that there's a disastrous situation on hand..."

I don't think the facts will stop them at all Bob, The warranty event they holler about is less than 1 in every 400 bikes , and that one bike will be fixed or changed under a comprehensive warranty , that poor one in 400 owner is an unlucky fellow though.. So it's a nothing event anyways numerically.The customers saying they have had consecutive failures has been addressed by the Moco too .
Peace to you Sir..
