garyjzr Posted August 20, 2010 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2010 I removed the trunk on my 2004 RSV and purchased a 2005 RSTD quick release backrest on e-bay. I went to look at a RSTD to see what I would need to make it work. The rubber mounts and bolts shouldn't be any problem but there is a welded pin on the RSTD mount that secures the backrest. Has anyone been able to make this work in the past or is there a bracket(even if I have to bolt on and off) that will allow me to use the passenger backrest on my RSV? Thanks...

phertwo Posted August 20, 2010 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2010 I have an RSTD. The welded pin just puts the backrest into the lock position. Maybe you could just 'make' a pin by positioning and installing a small bolt of similar size in the same location that the pin is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyjzr Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted August 23, 2010 Thanks for the input, yes installing a screw/bolt may work but I'll have to see if there is enough clearance to allow the latch to work if I have to use a nut to secure the screw/bolt.
