What idiots designed the quick release features on the windshield and passenger backrest on the Road King Classic? It's always a struggle to get the windshield and backrestbrackets to line-up with the grommets. The backrest latch system is a total joke. I pray that the engine and tranny aren't designed by the same team! Done venting now.

 

I didn't have trouble on my Road King.... Just need a little patience when you line it up....

 

that was me.

i knew you were gonna buy a harley someday anddesigned those locks just toannoy you. looks like my work here is done.

 

Hey I helped too remember. Those rubber grommets were from submarine rubber door gasket seals and the only way that they fit right is to lube em up with chicken and bacon fat.

 

Its all in how you hold your tongue. When you line up the right side, simply slip your tongue slightly past the right corner of the mouth. The same applies to the left side. Works for me every time. It also prevents me from cussing.



Hack

 

Never had a problem on my RK Classic. When I installed docking kits, shimmed as needed after test fittin backrest/luggage rackprior to tighten down all hardware. Windshield fits like a glove. Go from 2-up w/shield to solo in <20 seconds, no complaints here.

Check alignment of docking pins and shim out if needed to align slots in grommets with bar notches. Tweak shape of sissybar brackets slightly if needed as well.

 

I drink two beers first and everything lines-up perfectly [8D]

 

dammit jc, i remember now. sometimes i think the boss liked you better, but i made more $$. did you ever get that rubber smell outta your clothes?? mine still stink.
