So today I installed the rear sport rack. I will start with the good news:

Once you get the sport rack installed, it takes 30 seconds to switch the cover outfor the backrest and visa versa.

Also, I called my local dealership and told them about the 21% off the hondaeastsuperstore.com was offering and asked them if they would price match and they said yes. Rode to Powersports of Greenville and bought the rear sport rack and backrest for $555 plus tax. Oh yeah, they wanted $200 for installation. Yeah Right!!

So this morning I decided to attempt the install by myself. One and a half hours start to finish after making mistakes. Many mistakes. I am now confident that I can do it in 45 minutes max. I used only the tools that came with the Spyder and needed a small Allen wrench that is not in the kit. If anyone is in the area and would like some help installing, ride over here and I will do it for free. And then we can go for a ride in the mountains.
