| Subject: Question re backrest attachment Mon May 16, 2011 12:31 pm | |
| I bought my SilverWing used and it had a backrest extension. One of those ones that extends the height of the stock backrest. Anyway I wanted to get it back to stock so I removed the extension. The extension had 4 rubber "spacers" about half an inch long where it was fastened to the 2 metal pieces that attach the backrest to the frame. Are those spacers normally used when attaching the stock backrest in the normal configuration or do the 2 seat mounting brackets just screw directly to the stock backrest?
If this isn't clear, sorry but basically is there any rubber anywhere where the backrest attaches to the brackets with the 4 screws?
Thanks

| There are, but they are hidden inside the butt pad.
this link shows the external bits very clearly
