I just installed the adjustable back rest on a 2010 Ultra Limited. Saved $125 on Ebay plus the $75+ the dealer would charge. My suggestion to anyone else looking to do the same is to use a 1" bolt to mount the adjuster bracket/midframe faring. The kit has a 3/4" bolt which is fine for mounting either the bracket or the faring but not both.

Why are you painting all Harley shops with the same brush? Not very wise. Yes there are some shops that don't do good work, but there are also those that do excellent work.
You obviously have had a bad experience, but don't tell me that my Harley shop shouldn't be patronized when I know that they do great work. Speak to your own only.

I have had my dealer install many factory parts on my 2010 FLSTFB and have been quite happy with the results, plus which now they are covered under the full 2 year warranty.
Don't feel your comment is a fair statement.... I do all of my regular maintence, but don't hesitate to have the dealer work on it. the first service is a rip off, but thats all I will say about that.

Really? I'll let mine work on my UC - although I do all the routine maintenance myself, it's NOT because I don't trust 'em - I just enjoy doin' it, and have the tools, books and knowledge to do it - AND know when to call in a pro. I've seen way too many Indies AND owners screw stuff over the years.
So....know who's gonna work on it, make sure they're qualified - but just because they work at a dealership doesn't make 'em fit - or unfit - to work on your scoot.

I just put a small relay (reed relay) from radio shack in the garage door opener. Then wire the contacts to the 12 on the accy switch under the seat. When accy switch is on relay completes the circuit and the garage door opener works.
Wires to NO on the realy and 12
