I have an HD adjustable back rest on my 15 SGCVO. Does anyone have a good route to run the rear main wiring plug under the seat. The plug ran across the rear fender and mounted there originally. After installing the back rest I can't seem to find a good spot for it. Any ideas and pic's would be appreciated.
I just installed an "adjustable driver back rest" on a 2018 Ultra. From my understanding of the instructions the bracket that mounts to the rear fender, the wiring should be left in place and the bracket fits over the wiring. I am not sure if that holds true to a CVO, but wouldn't think they would have different wiring. The part that was really unclear to me was the mounting of the lever on the left side. I kind of did my own and re-installed the side heat deflector back on the bike. Hides the lever a little too. Good luck on the install and keep it between the white lines in Iowa.
Thanks for your input. Not sure about the 18's but the CVO has a large plug/harness,speakers etc. that doesn't fit under the rest. I've tried. I took a ride the other day and pulled the seat to check for damage. Hope i'm good. My adjustable lever is under the deflector as well.Not a lot of options there. Be safe out there.
Might be a different animal, but the attached picture is how the wiring runs on my 2015 with the manually (as opposed to the cable version) adjustable backrest. I also have a brake light module and the saddlebag lights that harley sells so there's a bit of wiring and connectors all trying to live in the same real estate.
