the threaded holes. Leave the screws loose until both have been started in their threads.
Flip the locking levers to the locked position; pivot the Backrest until the pins settle in
their slots (you will hear a “click”). Torque both of the Countersunk Socket Head
Screws to 15 ft-lbs (20.3 Nm).
NOTE:
If the 5/16”-18 X 7/8” Countersunk Socket Head Screws are loosened or re-
moved, see the
WARNING

STEP 11
Torque the four 5/16” Fixed Mount screws to 20 ft-lbs (27.1 Nm). Reinstall both of the saddle-
bags.
PRE-RIDE INSPECTION:
Fold the locking levers outward to the unlocked position; move the Backrest to the desired position; fold the locking
levers to the locked position; gently pivot the Backrest until the locking pins settle in their notches (you will hear a
“click”).
Repeat the above procedure for the other Backrest position.
Visually inspect the Shoulder Washers and Countersunk Socket Head Screws at the pivot point for any signs of loosen-
ing before each ride. Küryakyn requires confirmation of correct torque specifications, as defined in these instructions, of
all backrest-attaching-fasteners every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
NOTE:
Refer to the instructions for the Multi-Purpose Driver/Passenger Backrest (P/N
