Default Back Rest Help
I sold a backrest off of my 2008 street glide to another forum member for his 2008 street glide. He took off his tour pack and tried installing the backrest and said it wont fit and now wants to return it. I am not familar with the tour pack mounting bracket, but I know this backrest fits a 2008 street glide. It also worked on my friends 2003 road king. Can anyone help me out. I am not sure if he needs diff docking hardware.

Thank You,

So, the docking kit for the 2-up tour pack will not work for the backrest. I will have to check with him and see if his tour pack is a 2-up, or solo.

Thank you
