| Great addition and very functional for a passenger. I don't have a cb antenna and the directions stated to drill holes from the inside of the trunk where there are factory marks for antenna holes to use as a referance. Well needless to say that they were a little off and I had to elongate the holes. It wasn't bad because the armrest still covered the holes that I had made bigger. Other than that the directions were pretty good and it looks really great. Just remember to swing them out of the way when opening the trunk or they will hit the rear speakers. |
| Just the instructions for an oil change are worth this book. If you're planning on doing custom wiring this is a must. |
| Agree with everything RonG said, but I still have them on with the heel-toe-shifter because I want the floorboard. |
| I wished I had asked CWOLAW for his instructions, because this took me all day to install. However once I figured it out I was very happy with the result. Its a 5 star hitch with a 3 star instruction. |
| Looks really great on a black bike. The only thing that could have been better is that it isn't curved quite as much as the fairing. It wasn't a big deal just center it and hold the middle and sides at the same time. I held it in place for about 3 minutes and the sides raised just a little bit. The next day I put some more pressure on the side for about a minute and is settled very nicely |
| Great product, but be more than careful with drilling the holes. The template is not perfect, so just make sure by lineing them up with the rack before drilling. |
| Great little piece to add to your fender. I recomend the shark tooth fender filler side pieces as well because they accent each other very well. The piece is metal chromed as well so all those little buggies that smash into it just clean right off and no worries of damage to it. |
| I like the bigger footprint of this than the stock kick stand. I ride my Goldwing every day to work and I used to have to put a small peice of flat steel under the stock one so it wouldn't sink into the asphalt. Now I just put the stand down and don't worry about it anymore. Nice chrome addition as well. When I first put it on I tightend the lock nut on the back a little too tight and it wouldn't spring up all the way, so all I did was loosen it a little and it works great. The lock nut is self locking so it's a great setup |
| Not as easy to get on and off. I generally ask the bride to help putting this on. I have the half cover on my wish list so there ya have it. |

This is a great backrest, but having said that here are a few pointers. 1) It's not as easy to install as it is advertised. Be very careful when cutting into the foam backing and use a long bread (serated) knife) instead of a sharp blade. 2)Be also careful of the angle at which the knife is inserted. You may want to use a guide of some sort to keep the blade at the proper angel. 3)Remember if you mount the bike with the traditional "leg over" you may not after this is installed. All-in-all it's a very nice backrest for the money. |
| Unless you plan on using a monkey wrench to remove the oil filter this tool is a must. And if you have installed the coolant guard you have to have this tool. |
| Replaced the OEM front cowl with ease. Looks great and it's a better buy than the individual chrome cowl fog light covers. |
