| 1. Before beginning, below are two angles of the factory detachable backrest set up. |
 |
| 2.
Next you will need to move the mounting lugs. Move the front
lug to the factory HD drilled hole immediately behind the front
hole. This new hole is the hole that is intended to be used
as the fixed Tour Pack mount. 3. Now that you have moved the front lug back, you will obviously need to move the rear lug back as well. Since there is no factory hole behind the rear lug, the following step (step 4) illustrates how to address this problem. |
 |
| 4.
After you have moved the front lug rearward, you will need to weld
a threaded fastener to allow for installation of the rear lug.
The fastener seen below is currently tacked into place. Not only does the fastener provide for the correct spacing to allow the backrest's arms to reach over the wide rear fender, the fastener provides the lug with a location to bolt into. Note: In the left-hand picture below you can see the mock up spacer on the front lug. You will be able to make a spacer out of any material you like, from a stack of washers to a custom cut spacer from aluminum. |
 |
| 5. After you have relocated your lugs and notched your fender's side flange for the shock mount, you will also want to notch for the new front lug position. |
 |
| 6.
Finally, you are ready to fit the backrest over the fender.
Due to the width of the fender the backrest will not slide over
easily. You will need to use a little "physical force" to
properly tweak the backrest. Once you have relocated the lugs and tweaked the backrest, everything should fit as pictured below. |
