Kuryakyn 8931 PLUG-N-GO DRIVERS BACKREST for GL 1800 - Manual (Page 4)

STEP 13
Center the chrome top trim on the hole ensuring it is equal distance from the
seams. With a small diameter punch, create a small hole in the seat cover using the
top trim as a template. Thread an included M3-.05 X 12mm Flat Socket Cap Screw
through the chrome top trim, seat cover and into the receiver. PIC 9 Continue to
create holes and install screws in an alternating “star” pattern until all six screws
have been started. Tighten the screws.
STEP 14 The rain flap has been included to cover the hole in the seat when the backrest has
been removed. It is not necessary to install it. If desired, remove the two rear
screws and attach the rain flap to the top trim with the included M3-.05 x 12mm
Button Socket Cap Screws and 3.7mm ID Flat Washers. PIC 10
STEP 15
Carefully trim any excess seat covering from around the inside of the top trim.
STEP 16 With the seat on its side, re-install the three screws from STEP 11. You may need to
compress the receiver into the seat in order to get the holes to line up. Leave the
screws loose until all three have been started in the threads then tighten them se-
curely. PIC 11
The seat cover around the top of the receiver should be smooth and even.
Position the top of the receiver/chrome top trim so that it does not “pull”
or “push” the seat cover. Adjust the receiver as necessary (see NOTICE
above).
STEP 17
Clean the frame tube in the area shown in PIC 12. Attach the included foam strip to the
center of the frame tube.
STEP 18 Reinstall the seat. Slide the backrest into the receiver. Adjust the angle of the backrest
pad to the desired position with the knurled screw. PIC 1

After installation is complete, you
may notice a “dimple” or “ripple”
in the seat covering. You may be
able to “fine tune” the fit of the
receiver in the seat by removing
the three mounting screws and
enlarging the slots to allow the
receiver to locate in a way as to
relieve any “dimples” or “ripples”.
