What am I missing? I have the 4 point docking hardware installed and the sissy bar doesn't quite line up at the rear. It's just a little too narrow to slide around those stand offs. Any body else have a fitment issue? I can't post pics from my phone to the forum but can email them if that'd help. Thanks

 

The backrest I have only uses two of the four, the front two go on the rear shocks.

 

Yeah got that...but the black part and chrome part of the rear mount it's sticking our too far and the latch can't lock.

 

i have the same problem. mine is on a 2011 RGU and just does not want to fit. I tried to force it and it broke the plastic off one of the rear docking points. I wonder if there were some conterfit sissy bars.

 

I have to really push mine in to fit on the dock mount, it is just not a perfect fit but it should go on.

 

Put it (the backrest) in a vice and bend the frame just a little at a time till it fits properly.

 

Had the same problem...it's that good old HD quality! If u bend it like suggested and leave it on for a while it should become easier over time.

 

Mine has got easier with time. It needs pulling / pushing sideways a bit to line up.

 

I really don't want to be insulting here, and don't mean for it to sound that way. But are you sure you're using the correct docking location? I mean, for a backrest alone, you only need the 2 point. The rear set is for a luggage rack.

Just throwing it out there. If there are pics, sorry. I can't see them from here at work.

 

well if you are using the shock mounts for the front of the detach sissy bar there is only one set of docking points that you can use LOL.
