Yea, I did mine and it wasn't too bad. The instructions do suck but combined with a little common sense it can be useful. I had the problem lining the holes back up too but I just used my knees and pushed the guard rails until the holes lined up. Now I gotta buy the docking kit for a passenger backrest.

Man it was alot easier than I thought, HD instructions suck. Thanks alot

 

I wish I had access to your directions with pictures when I installed the docking hardware on my 2006 FLHT, it sure would have saved alot of time and frustration. Thanks for sharing.

Dealer wanted 2 hours labor to install mine. It took me a little better than that, but it was pretty easy. Just take your time.

How many people think these directions should be a sticky so all the new people could benefit from them easier? Seems like the search function is inadequate in this respect.

Anyone second this? or third?

 

Dam, where were these when I did my install !!

G-

 

Certainly a sticky in the DIY section would be good. Same as with the docking kit for the passenger back rest. I did mine (sort of) using the supplied instructions but ended up freelancing some of it how I thought it would work best. I'm no ASE certfied mech, but some are even LESS mechanically inclined. Any help is good.

 

I didn't install it but OMG is it a wonderful thing!

I usually run my E-G Classic without the tourpack for a more sleek look- simply dont need it 98% of the time. But for a road trip Hell Yeah it's on there in about 5 minutes flat.

I use the detachable backrest when I have a passenger - about 30 seconds for that install.

Someday I want to run with a Corbin Classic Solo and a chrome rack over the rear fender so look forward to this option too.

 

looking for a detach kit toattach to the rider backrest docking hardware I have seen 1 and am trying to find out were to get it I dont like the docking hoops just dont think it is a clean look fir my bike. Any help on finding it would be great
