RE: Backrest Installation
Heat shields???? I'm sorry, I guess I installed my back rest on the back.... not the front. As with the others who mentioned it.... I wouldn't try installing without a good set of tools. Check out the instructions on line. There are several threads posted on this forum that will help. Best of luck brother.

So, do you have RJ's heat deflectors? Didn't know that they might be an issue.

Some of the worst Harley instructions I have ever read, however, once I finished it all made sense. The install is pretty straight forward, the instructions just don't get you there very well.

RE: Backrest Installation
Only the Kury and HD heat shields are an issue for only the adjustable riders backrest. This is due to the adjustment lever and the left side heat shield using the same existing hole in the frame to mount to. I suppose it could be worked around but there was no issue with my RJ's originals on my '07 Ultra.
