Installing the Utopia Drivers Backrest on the 2008 GS Spyder Roadster

[speedbuggy]

HELP REQUESTED:
I have just received my Utopia Drivers backrest. It says I am to take off the black vinyl covering by removing the staples to get at the foam coating and slide the center bar through the foam and slide the foam over the bar.

I find the instructions vague and the video on you tube did not help much as it showed the one for the RT spyder.:sour::dontknow::banghead:ray:

Has anyone ever installed the drivers backrest (built for the GS/RS) and give me any advise.ray::chat:

Anything would be appreciated. By the way, my bike is a 2008 Spyder GS Roadster with OEM seat.:bowdown:

UTOPIA TOLD ME THE SAME THING............................BUT

I didn't pay any attention to their advice . I felt removing the cover and replacing it was going to be way harder than mounting the HARDWARE to the PAN. If you don't own a power stapler I don't think re-attaching the cover is doable ....at least not so it will look the way it did before you took it off..................................Artufun did a video in 2012 " BLUEKNIGHT911's MODS " do a search. I'm pretty sure it showed the Bracket attachment on my 08 GS.....................The hardest part was putting the serrated knife through the seat cover :gaah::gaah::gaah:............................Mike :thumbup:
