MULTI-PURPOSE BACKREST INSTALLATION:
STEP 18
Install the Driver/Passenger Backrest to the Fixed Mount. Insert a 5/16”-18 X 7/8” Countersunk
Socket Head Cap Screw (supplied with the backrest) through one of the Shoulder Washers
(supplied with the backrest) and Fixed Mount. Thread it into the Driver/Passenger Backrest. PIC 4.
Repeat for the other side. Torque to 15 FT/LBS. If these fasteners are loosened or re-
moved, see the
WARNING and NOTE below.
BOTH PIVOT/HINGE SCREWS MUST HAVE
THREADLOCK COMPOUND RE-APPLIED AND RE-
TORQUED ONCE REMOVED AFTER INITIAL IN-
STALLATION. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT
IN UNINTENDED LOOSENING AND MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE FEMALE
THREADS IN THE MULTI-PURPOSE BACKREST
AND THE THREADS ON THE REMOVED SCREWS
WILL NEED TO BE CLEANED TO REMOVE ANY
THREADLOCKER RESIDUE BEFORE RE-
INSERTING. RE-APPLY LOCTITE® THREAD-
LOCKER BLUE 242® OR EQUIVALENT, AS
SHOWN IN PIC 5, RE-TORQUING TO 15 FT-LBS (20.3 NM)
USING A TORQUE WRENCH AND 3/16” ALLEN/HEX KEY AT-
TACHMENT. LET CURE PER THE THREADLOCK MANUFACTUR-
ERS INSTRUCTIONS AFTER INSTALLATION. IF YOU DO NOT
WISH TO APPLY THREADLOCKER, THEN ORDER A NEW SER-
VICE KIT, (P/N 991660) WHICH WILL CONTAIN SCREWS
WITH BLUE THREADLOCK ADHESIVE PRE-APPLIED.
STEP 19
Check the operation of the Backrest by folding the locking levers (PIC 6) to the straight out posi-
tion. Lower or raise the backrest to the desired location. Fold the locking levers over to
lock them in place. Gently rock the Backrest back and forth to ensure the locking pins
are engaged in the notches in the Fixed Mounts. Repeat for the other position of the
Backrest. Visually inspect the Shoulder Washers and Countersunk Socket Head
Cap Screws at the pivot point for any signs of loosening before each ride.
Küryakyn requires checking all backrest attaching fasteners to the torque
specifications defined in these instructions every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
STEP 20
Reinstall both saddlebags.
STEP 21 Adjust the backrest to your liking BEFORE riding the motorcycle.
