I bought the backrest and was told if it doesn't fit and I damage it, they won't refund my money. I said I understand but wanted it anyway.
Someone with an '09 TG Ultra told me this backrest, 52572-09A and associated mount hardware, fit and installed OK in his TG. Anyone else successfully installed this backrest with no modifications? I'd like to find out before pulling the seat and attempting the mod. I guess I'm trying to avoid paying an extra hundred bucks for the backrest that is "specifically" designed for the TG.

Boon, welcome to “New Model -Club Frustration”; as you do your mods, you are going to encounter many parts that Harley says will “NOT” fit a TG and actually “DO” and you will also discover some parts that they say “WILL” fit a TG and “DON’T”! Like it or not, us early TG owners are training some of these parts guru’s and not getting paid for it!

I buy most of my parts from Chicago Harley and have had a hard time returning something that did not work!

From what I read on the package it goes on the same way as HD's.
I am going to try to put it on this Friday. Lynn already rubbed the paint
away (just a little spot) with her leathers on the tank (from gripping tank
while making a turn). I got some heavy duty clear tape on it now.
