Kuryakyn 1662 FIXED MOUNTS for MULTI-PURPOSE BACKREST — 14 and UP - Manual (Page 3)

INSTALL THE MULTI-PURPOSE BACKREST:
STEP 8 Locate the 5/16”-18 X 7/8” Countersunk Socket Head Screws and Shoulder Washers (included in the
Multi-Purpose Backrest kit); put the washers on the Countersunk screws; set them within arms reach
of the work area.
STEP 9 Refer to PIC 5. Ensure that the locking levers on the Multi-Purpose Backrest are in the
unlocked position; hold the Backrest between the Fixed Mounts and align the mounting
holes.
STEP 10
Secure the Backrest to the Mounts with the Screws and Shoulder Washers from
STEP
8 . Ensure the Shoulder Washer fits flush against the Fixed Mounts; start the screws in
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 below.
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
1660 or P/N 1661) for detailed adjustment procedures.
