I just bought a adjustable Custom Stitch Style Rider backrest model # 52622-03 this is the one that has the gas shock on it that you can adjust by a cable, It was never used but the instructions are gone. That is no problem as I can figure it out pretty easy, but I'm stumped as to where you put the bracket that holds the handle that controls the gas shock on my 05 Road Glide. I can't find any place that would be easy to get to, am I missing something [:@] Where do you other Road Glide riders mount yours? HELP I'm STUCK on this [sm=boohoo.gif] If any one has a copy of the instructions you could scan and e-mail me my address is gilbos440rt@bellsouth.net
Again you guys are the best thanks for any help.

I jus bought the same thing for my 06 road glide. If anyone can post pics of instalation that would be great or feel free to email them to me at jlamill@sbcglobal.net.
Thanks in advance!
Arg!!! I looked high and low for those instrutions no luck,[:@] look on the left side off your bike on the frame under your seat on the big backbone part of the frame you'll see a hole, thats where the oval adjustment handle bolts, your seat will have to come off and it a bugger to get the bolt in there if your hands are big but not to bad I bent the metal part the cushion goes on some to give me a little more backward adj. If I run acros the inst. I shoot them out to you. But just slide your adj. handle were I told you the hole is and you should see what I'm telling you, Once I saw it I felt a little dumb but thats me Hope this helped some and you're gonna love your back rest
That was a quick reply...thanks! I have the instructions, just cant see the photos clearly. HD does a nice job of being vague about these thing I guess. Im assuming the tab on that bracket fits into the large hole to hold it in place too huh? If anyone can shoot a couple phots and post that would be awesome.
