If I'm not mistaken the Hondaline backrests also required some trimming under the seat on the rear cowl. It's just a consequence of the available mounting points. Kurt On Aug 8, 2013 10:39 AM, richardpdo...@gmail.com wrote: does anybody know where I can find a backrest- carrier for my 2002

If you use washers, you can thread a wire down through the center of the spring and through the hole in the washer, and they won’t fall out inadvertently. Gene From: Frank Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2013 11:33 AM To: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com Subject: [Norton AntiSpam][Nighthawk

I think the penny method is very clever, but I found that for me was very easy just to use a vice-grip to grab the spring from one end and muscle to stretch it out. Javier. On Thu, Aug 8, 2013 at 12:33 PM, Frank frankatep...@yahoo.com wrote:

Thanks everyone that replied. Very helpful. The manual and picture are perfect! My bike has the stock exhaust so that's a plus. I think the only part that's missing ins the rubber stopper for when the stand is in the up position. The good news is the hardware store by my house has a couple

That's correct. All backrest/sissy bars for the 750, including the aftermarkets, require inch-and-a-half notches be cut into the sides of the rear cowl to accommodate the bar's built-in mounting brackets. Once installed, though, the brackets cover the holes, so they're not visible so long as
