New backrest installed.

[Hawk]

Just installed my backrest. I was going to do a "how to", but the instructions are good and it literally takes 10 minutes, 5 if your good. Very easy. Instructions say to remove the seat lift cylinder from the seat (not the bike). You don't HAVE to do this, but it just lets you raise the seat some and you could maybe bend it if you put too much pressure on the side of the seat (unlikely). Then you just put the bracket under seat, put 4 screws, pop out the cover in the seat (was probably the hardest step, lol), and insert the hitch. Easy Peezy

I had just installed mine too...congrats with the quick install. Does yours lock well in place...it was too cold for me to check out the locking mechanism? :dontknow:

Thanks.

Do you mean into the bracket? If so, yeah. If you mean staying upright, it seems to be. Its easy to tilt down.

Thanks, let me clarify...in the bracket, does it lock in good. I see there is a lever on the bracket under the seat for the release. It looks as though it only locks one side?

I have quickly (due to how cold it is in MN) put it on, but did not push it down hard enough to lock it. I did tilt it and that worked fine.

I was just asking about how it locked into the seat bracket. Thanks for your info. :2thumbs:

Now I'm happy, I see that the grey is actually two toned black and grey. Just what I've been looking for. Now if only my dealer had ordered something other than black. He's got 7 of the black ones in stock.

Yeah, it locked in place pretty easily. I pushed it in and heard the click. Pulled on it and it didn't come out. Have not tried the release underneath.

Got the Part # thanks to all for the Help.
My Dealer has been looking for it, even
called BRP seems there might be Part # issue
with BRP.

I wish there was a way to install the BRP backrest on an Ultimate seat.........
