Backrest for Spyder RT 2020+ With 1,000 miles on it and only being a few weeks old, I was a bit leary dismantling my brand new Spyder. Between the enclosed instructions AND SlingMod's online video, I went for it. It took longer than the expected install time, as I dropped the large flat washer screw into "never-never" land and had to make a trip to the hardware store. (It bounced out the next day). I suggest that you have an extra set of hands, as it takes two hands to lift up the seat tray, while another helps to jamb and jiggle the mount down into place. Another suggestion is to increase the length of the M8 X 16MM BOLT. I had to hold the mount in place while trying to get the screw started, and it's just a tad too short.
Once the mount was in place, everything else was a snap to install. With the fold down option, my wife can easily get into her seat, and it gives her another place to hold instead of the side arm handles.
Thank You SlingMods
