Actually I had my local motorcycle mechanic install all of the options you see in those pictures. Especially the passenger backrest/luggage rack because holes need to be made - those holes need to be done in the right place on the first try.pauljo said:
Finished installing a Utopia driver's backrest today. The instructions said it would take only minutes. WHATEVER. I guess I'm not much of a mechanic, because it probably took me three or four hours by the time I wrestled with the seat, drilled and redrilled holes and then held my breath to see if the whole thing would come together correctly. It finally did though and it does make for a much more relaxed and comfortable ride.

jkrerol15,
I guess they didn't lie, 3-4 hours is 180-240 minutes. Don't sweat it though, if you ever have to do it again it will take 1/2 the time. My 1st oil change took me almost 2 hrs. now it takes about 20 minutes, for the engine, trans., and final drive. The first time I took off the seat 1 hr. now 5 min.
I think the longest part is figuring out the "plastics" removal. Once that's understood, its down hill from there.
Ralph,
As stated earlier, there are location marks on the back side of the fender. I use a flat drill bit "speed bore" with small tines on the ends. Lay the fender upside down on a block of wood, once the tip of the drill bit is in the wood, it holds the position for a real clean cut, works slick.

Passenger Backrest
Depending on how handy you are I found the easiest way to drill the holes required is to drill a pilot from the marks on the underside. Then tape both sides and using a variable speed drill use the proper size wood boring bit on a very slow speed to drill the hole ---worked for me.
