I think I can reach all the bolts inside the fender with a ratcheting wrench What do you have to do with your blinker wires when installing a backrest? Thanks

IF you got all the right parts teh wire run inside your new fender rails..just like they did in the old rails..
one bolt up from the bottom at the back of the rail holds the back rest..
been 3 years but if i remember it was a 6 pac pita by myself,may want to do a topic search, think some undo the shocks..def need to get the back tire up off the ground first...couple of 4x4s works... when you think youre all done double double check tire clearance from your bolt heads

Reply #6 - 04/02/10 at 01:50:03 I believe some of the bolts are longer on the backrest side pieces. As far as scratching the paint, someone on here mentioned taping off the area around where you're working to keep from scratching it. Unless you have or are planning to have the flat black look (I'm looking at you Rocco! ).
