Back rest installation

[spyder8788]

Hmmm, so how hard is it really to install the back rest on a RS? :helpsmilie:
Being female, I'm mechanically inclined, but not sure looking at the installation instructions/pictures. It looks somewhat easy but on the other hand, it looks like a pain in the butt. How long should it take? :dontknow: I dont want to take it to the dealer cuz they want to charge me an arm and a leg. :gaah:
Any help is appreciated. :bowdown:

it was easier then it looks the instructions REALLY blow , there is a post with pictures on how to do it somewhere im going to look for it unless i get beaten to the punch . jsut taken your time and youll get it . when they say the hardest thing is routing the release cable its probably the most difficult part and its really not that hard. take your time and youll get it . After i did it on mine i probably could do it in 45 min since i know what im doing now.


Here is the link I used to help me .. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17900

:agree: Routing the cable was the bigest PITA. inistructions didnt explain or show that step very well. Took me 1hr and 15mn from pullin the pannels to going for a ryde.

I would recomend getting the correct size torx in a socket. Its much easyer and faster.
