    Default Ultimate TallBoy Seat Problems

    I bought an ultimate seat at Spyderfest a couple weeks ago and up until today everything has been good. I left the backrest in the seat while I was at work, something I haven't done up until this point and now for the life of me I can't get the driver backrest to even engage to slide out of the housing. Has anyone had this problem in the past and if so how can I fix it. It wouldn't be a huge deal if I could put the rain cover over the seat but I can't. Would love some feedback and help.

    Seriously? You squirt a little lube in the hole and it slipped right in!?!? lol

    On a serious note, did you look closely at the alignment of the bracket and make sure you're putting it in the right spot and at the correct angle?


    I just installed my seat and it's awesome!!! Loving it so far with 0 miles, lol.

    Default Back Rest Removal

    I was told when I got mine when you remove it to give it a hit downward first and then pull it out. There is a locking ball in there. That method has worked for me so far.

    With a can of WD-40, and a roll of duct tape, you can fix just about anything.
