My experience with HD instructions is they are intentionally very difficult to comprehend even with easy to install items - they want you to pay the dealership to install it. I remember installing a detatchable backrest, luggage rack, and docking hardware on my old Road King. Each piece (backrest, luggage rack, and hardware) had multiple applications on multiple models with a lot of additional pieces. I had to study the instructions for 3 days and I finally figured it out. Terrible. It would be simple if they made instructions for your model only.

I have found that the included instructions with alot of the add on Harley products should be used as a base reference at best. When installing many of the parts I bought, I have found myself having to improvise to make them install properly. Finding a pic-by-pic tutorial that somebody else uploaded is a REALLY big help. Even with that said, put on - take off - rout - rerout - and alot of common sense goes a long way.
