Pass backrest FLHX?
I want to get a removable passenger backrest for my StreetgLide. I do not plan on adding a tourpack or luggage rack. I am ssuming all I will need to buy is the following: Bakrest pad, Upright and docking hardware. Am I missing anything else? any help is appreciated

My only advice would be to use the instructions as a reference, not a guide. If you plan on doing this yourself, do what looks right. It will work. I did this by the book then threw the book away after several times asking myself what the f..k??? Wife likes it...on and off in a jiffy.

I put one on my bike last month. Make sure you have some way of grinding downbolts, have a rat-tail file handy to enlarge and enlongate some bracketry and you will be fine. I agree with Skydriver, take your time and look at the photos then throw away the instructions-they suck. Plan on dry fitting a few times before final wrenching. Don't forget to use Locktite. I had nearly a hand full of nuts and bolts left over from the kit so don't weird out thinking you forgot something.

I have one for my SG as well, you may also want to add the chrome piece that goes on the back of the pad ads a nice touch, I think they only offer 2 or 3 styles for the 3 bolt SG pads.
