Back rest keeps leaning forward
Howdy all,
For a good while now the OEM back rest on my 2010 U.C. keeps leaning forward from time to time. If I lean forward to adjust my seating position or reach for the radio it goes forward and is then locked in that position. If I get off the bike after a while it is leaned all the way forward. Has anyone experienced and dealt with this problem before? It's getting annoying enough to where I would like to fix the problem somehow.

I'm guessing it is the gas charged strut on the adjustment base. I had one that went bad so I did a google search of the part number on the cartridge, sorry I don't have the information any more, it was a while ago. Found it online and replaced it. Not real hard to replace and it worked like new when I was finished.

If you need a part, here is the instruction sheet with part numbers.
