Hey guys, I am new to the site, and I have to say, there is an overwhelming wealth of information here.

My question, is there an easy way to remove the sissy bar and backrest?  I see the bolt behind the sissy bars on each side, but its kind of awkward to get in there, I also don't know if there is more to it then those 2 bolts.  My clymer looks as though you have to remove both seats just to remove the sissy bar....     Is there an easy way I am missing?

Thanks in advance, Scott

Here's the thread I was talking about... You can see where the bolts are on the reverse side of the rails that were removed, and on the shot of my fender with no rails.

That thread was designed to show that the rails on the Savages, are the same rails used on the S40, when they come with the sissybars.

Hope its helps.

Scott... Basically. However, I'm not sure how it'll work taking off just the rear bolts and not removing the rest of the rails. You may want to be careful, or you may end up with a scratched fender. (Just as equally important to watch when installing the thing again!)

The S40 rails that came stock without the sissyrails are pretty nice, if you're looking to reinstall rails again. They can be had off EBay for pretty cheap, or from an S40 member looking to add the sissybar like I did.

Or... I've seen some pretty nice setups where the bolt holes are filled in and repainted, so the fender is bare (see Savage Greg's pictures for that).

That looks really good, what kind of seat is that?
