Backrest Removal
Okay, got a drivers backrest installed on my FLHS (1/3off at the dealer that was fixing my bike), but I forgot to ask the service guy how it's supposed to 'quick' remove...So you can get at the battery. I suppose that The MoCo hasn't radically changed designs in the last ten years on these things, so can anyone give me the 'how to'?

RE: Backrest Removal
Put your fingers down in the seat hole, and find the spring mounted lever. Not really a separate lever, just part of the bracket that mounted to the fender. . Push it toward the front of the bike and pull the back rest out, atleast that is how mine works. The bracket level/mounting bracket has a hole in it. The backrest has a metal pertrusion that goes into teh hole. By pushing forward, it is able to come out.

RE: Backrest Removal
Thanks for the two replies...I went back out to the bike and figured it out.
It is the 'old style' (I have a hard time thinking of my 93 as old) and all you have to do is push the rest forward and pull it out. Goes back in the same way. No fancy locks/levers/springs etc.
Thanks again!
