    To pass the time, I may remove the backrest from my Rocket 3R (that I had fitted as an option on delivery!) . I just fancy seeing how it’s done, learning a bit more about my bike and also seeing how it looks with the original pillion seat on. I have the backrest fitting instructions - they just refer to removing the mudguard under tray as per the service manual.

    Has anyone done this? or anyone know of how to access the service manual? I may just be able to have a look and tinker, but would prefer to follow a guide if possible.

    Hi @Dobbo
    The under tray is held in with four bolts:)
    These two are underneath :confused: AD435E5E-3DCB-4763-B239-733E5EDC4765.jpeg Here....one either side of the bike
    8mm socket or spanner :) 6679C04C-45E4-491C-AA90-08A2A21D9AAA.jpeg two from the top underneath the seat
    Allen heads:) E381CE48-6A64-4EA3-A2CA-788A6CDCDE01.jpeg here 0876CD60-DD53-4988-B779-0DE751055303.jpeg and here :) 1C5263F9-867A-472E-9564-383646D2587F.jpeg after removing these I used the side of my hand/fist and bumped the tray towards the shock to release it from the clips :) 507DC5AF-E549-442A-A5F5-42ACBA02C6C3.jpeg six of them hold it in place and they can be a bit of a pain trying to get them back into position but I’ve done this a few times now and now have the hang of it :p
    Hope this helps :)

    All done, nice and straightforward - thanks to Dilligaf for the photos and guide!
    Nice to see my Rocket back in standard trim without the backrest.
