Can somebody post a picture of the backrest protector installed on an 09 or newer stock street glide seat? Not sure I can interpret Harley instruction english as well as I can Mandarin Chinese.

 

no pic but i feel yer pain, took me some time to finger it out. but, from the top of the seat... it goes on the passenger side of the slot, and down in about 1.5 to 2 inches...put the back rest in, and fully forward, then slide it down in, you want it to keep the bracket from going into the passenger part of the seat when you put the rest fully back... help any?

 

What, pray tell, is a "backrest protector"? Not trying to be a smart ***, but never heard of that.

"seat Protector" Actually its a piece of plastic material thats supposed to protect the seat from the backrest mount. It comes with the mount kit.

 

I have the adjustable backrest. It never came with any plastic protector. I don't see how you would be able to move it or reach in and release the clip to take it out if there was a plastic slot of some type.

 

Thanks for the explanation, I just installed a backrest on my Ultra and it didn't come with anything like that either, and I have a hard enough time getting my hand in there the way it is. Just thought I would ask.

Mine also came with one and I didn't put it in because I didn't understand the directions, that and I was in a hurry cuz it was getting late. I think I still have it in the garage and would like to put it on. It just looks like a black square piece of tape, about 2 inches by 2 inches if I remember correctly.

 

I also installed a adjustable back rest that did not come with the protector,must be something new.

 

I didnt understand the directions either. I think I put it in front of the backrest thinking as when the passenger gets off and on they may fold it forward. At least thats how I was thinking so thats why its in front. I was also thinking that it would not hurt if I had one on each side if I could find extra. I now have to go look to see if I have it right.

 

Just installed one last week and it did not have the protector. Last bike did not have it either.
