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)
.

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
