Default Back rest/relocation rear tails
I posted a few days ago about a can O' worms I opened trying to install a detachable sissy bar and im happy to say I finnaly got it all together. I bought the docking harware from HD but the bolts where about 1 1/2 inch to short I tried to explain to him that the bolts are the same size as the ones that are going through my bags but all I got was a /shrug. I went to the hardware store and got longer bolts and proceeded to mount the docking hardware. After getting the docking done I went with the layback license plate/rear signal relocation and that went smooth. After getting it all done I wish I just went riggid because now I love the look. Hers a few pics.
