You are in for a treat!! I basically took mine apart trying to find the screw that holds the backrest in place! Took awhile to figure out how to even get the backrest pad off!
After all is said and done, it's not possible to remove it unless you destroy it completely! I verified that at the dealer!!! At least I know how to get the pad off now (you just spin it off).
This was not one of Harley's better designs! If someone found a way please let me know!

You are right I took a heat gun and heated the leather insert up and it pulled right off and went back on with ease can't even tell it was ever off.

It didn't take much a hair dryer will do just fine! when you go to to put the leather insert back in heat the big piece of 2 sided pad up first .
