Rider Backrest Mount - 2011 RGC
Rider Backrest Mounting Kit 52589-09A
This is an extremely easy task but since I took the photos I thought I would share them anyway...
Only need two 7/16" wrenches for most of the bolts... 1/2" and 3/8" for the bolts in the middle black bar.
I was debating between the adjustable unit and this one... I figured I would give this one a try first, if it does not work for me it is only 23.00 wasted... but it if works, it is a 150.00 saving from the adjustable mount.
Ok, here we go. Remove the seat. Instructions asks you to remove the side cover, but if you have girly hands like I do...
: you can install the bolts without having to do so. Or you can put tape at one side of the wrench to hold the nut in place while you start it...
I only moved the ECU aside while tightening the base.
Install the upper base and leave it loose until the middle bar is installed.
Once middle bar is in place, tighten all up...
Again, there is a level of adjustment with this mount, just not on the fly
and as easy as with the other unit... I hope it works for me.

For the mount, that is it. Or you mean a photo of the seat back in place?? Can't see any of the mount once the seat is in place.
Plus I still do not have the backrest
to show a photo of the seat back in place with the backrest... mount was 24.00, backrest is another 150.00, so it waits for when the funds are available
