RE: rider backrest questions
Don't have an Ultra but when I did mine on the RK I took the seat off and then followed the direction that came with the back rest. Mine is adjustable so there was a cable and handle that had to be connected but wasn't too hard with the directions.

I installed the adjustable backrest on my roadglide it is pretty strait forward. they only dificult part is attaching the lever, it is a tight fit to get to the nut that holds it on. had my son assist and not problems

RE: rider backrest questions
read and re-read the directions....whatever you do...STAY CALM...if the dealers can do it and charge you a months worth of pay...you can do it and buy some chrome with the money you are gonna save..just my 2 cents (dont mean to offend anyone)

RE: rider backrest questions
If you haven't had your seat off before, open the tour pack lid and you can access the screw better that holds the seat down.
The tour pack does not have to be removed. The instructions are pretty straight forward. I just installed a rider backrest on my '03 Ultra Classic.

RE: rider backrest questions
do the rider backrests make a ig difference? I can't make up my mind between a Harley seat and a Corbin? I have a detectable passanger backrest. And if I got a Corbin and got a rider backrest I really wouldnt want two different backrests. Maybe I am just too **** like my friends say? lol.
