Installation Instructions:

Frame-mounted driver backrest kit

For FL touring models, 1997-2008

The Mustang driver backrest kit can be used with the stock one-piece seats and

with the Mustang one-piece touring seats that have the center opening to accept

the backrest. This unit cannot be used with any solo seat or two-piece seat.

Step 1 Remove the seat from the motorcycle.

Step 2 For model years 1999-2008, locate the

two 1/4-20 studs in the fender and remove the

nuts from them. These nuts will be used to attach

the driver backrest receiver base.

For model years 1997-1998, there are two 5/16

bolts that need to be removed and used later to

attach the receiver base.

Step 3 Locate the pre-drilled hole in the frame

member located just above and behind the bat-

tery. Slip the supplied flat nut over this hole and

align it to accept the supplied 1/4-20 bolt.

Step 4 Place the receiver base onto the motorcy-

cle by aligning the two studs or screw holes and

the single mounting hole; attach and secure using

the stock nuts on the two studs or the two 5/16

bolts at the rear and the supplied bolt at the front

attachment point.

Step 5 Re-install the seat and secure with the

rear fender screw.

Step 6 Insert the driver backrest post through the

seat opening and into the receiver base.

Step 7 Adjust height and tilt angle of backrest

pad for optimum driver’s support and comfort.
