INSTALLATION
NOTE
The sissy bar upright can be installed on either a two-point or four-point docking kit.
| 1. | Unless already in place, install the docking hardware kit (either two-point or four-point) to the vehicle per the instructions in that kit. | |||||||||
| 2. | See Figure 6. Stand behind the motorcycle. Place the left side and right side front upright notches (with bushings in place) onto the docking points inboard of the upper shock absorber mounts. Make sure the notch bushings (8) seat fully into the shock absorber docking points. | |||||||||
| 3. | See Figure 1. Position the rotary latches (4) over the rear docking points (3). Verify the upright sides (1) and latches fit into the neck (2) of the rear docking points as shown. This may require some gentle squeezing or spreading of the sissy bar upright sides. NOTE * If interference is encountered at the shock absorber mounts: Remove the right side shock absorber. See the service manual. Reinstall the shock absorber in the rod down position. Figure 2 This will allow the necessary clearance for sissy bar installation. If fitment issues continue, contact a Harley-Davidson dealer for assistance. * After installing the sissy bar upright, verify the sissy bar is secure. The front and rear docking points must be fully engaged. For correct engagement, Figure 1 | |||||||||
| 4. | Push the rear of the sissy bar downward. Close the latches by pressing the latch lever as far forward as it goes. You hear a "CLICK" when the latch is in place. If the latch does not easily close, do not force. Check the sissy bar alignment again, as described in steps 2 and 3. |

| 5. | Figure 5 The sissy bar adjusts to three different positions. Position 1 is the same as current non-adjusting P&A sissy bars. Position 2 is 8° forward from non-adjusting sissy bar position. Position 3 is 8° rearward from non-adjusting position. NOTE A locking screw keeps the sissy bar from rotating. |

| 6. | Figure 3 Rotating adjustment knob rearward (1) rotates locking screws (3) outboard. A clicking noise is heard. Red paint is visible on the adjustment knob shaft (2) to indicate that the locking screw is not engaged. The sissy bar is now free to move. | |||||||||
| 7. | Adjust sissy bar to one of the three positions. | |||||||||
| 8. | Figure 4 Lock the sissy bar in place by rotating both adjustment knobs forward (1). A clicking noise is heard, and the red paint is no longer visible. Locking screw is now engaged in sissy bar (2). | |||||||||
