Removing backrest

[Wild Bill]

Mine was a standard and I add back rest. Yes the four scews will take it off. But the plastic plates our replaced with metal once a backrest is instald. To me it would be a big deal to change the plates out being you would have to remove seat. Personaly I would just run the screws back in to cover bolt holes and ride.

Does anyone of you have a backrest how it does look like when you remove the backrest? I am wondering about the attachment for the backrest and it's bolts. TIA!

I'm also curious. Does anyone have a photo of a deluxe with the backrest removed? I really don't care for the way the backrest looks and I won't need a passenger backrest until my son is old enough to ride with me. If my deluxe wasn't still in the crate, I'd check it out for myself. If it is too ugly, I'll probably buy a rack to cover up the holes or get the non-deluxe parts to clean up the look.

I don't know what is right under the screws. ie tire or what. But when the bracket is removed. Will the screws be to long? Could they hit something. Maybe a little shorter screw instead. I have not looked, but it was just a passing thought. Something to look at when removing the backrest.

No problem.The screws are only about an inch long.
