4. Setup and Installation

The SHAD D0ri60 backrest is designed for straightforward installation on compatible SHAD top cases.

Required Tools:

• Screwdriver (appropriate type for provided screws)
• Drill (if holes are not pre-marked or pre-drilled on your top case)
• Measuring tape and marker (if drilling is required)

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Top Case: Open your SHAD top case. Locate the designated mounting points for the backrest on the lid. Many SHAD top cases have pre-marked or pre-drilled holes for this accessory.
2. Position the Backrest: Align the backrest's mounting plate with the holes on the top case lid. Ensure the backrest is centered and correctly oriented.
3. Drill Holes (if necessary): If your top case does not have pre-drilled holes, carefully mark the positions using the backrest's mounting plate as a template. Drill pilot holes of the appropriate size, ensuring not to damage the interior of the top case.
4. Secure the Backrest: Insert the provided screws through the backrest's mounting plate and the top case lid. Secure them from the inside of the top case using the washers and nuts. Tighten all screws firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the plastic.
5. Final Check: Close the top case and gently test the stability of the backrest. Ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble.

5. Usage

Once installed, the SHAD D0ri60 backrest provides a comfortable support for the passenger. Ensure the passenger is seated correctly and comfortably against the backrest. The backrest is designed for passive support and should not be used as a grab handle or for securing luggage.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the faux leather pad with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws and hardware for tightness. Re-tighten if necessary. Inspect the backrest pad for any tears, cracks, or excessive wear.
• Storage: If the motorcycle is stored for an extended period, ensure the backrest is clean and dry.

7. Troubleshooting

Issue: Backrest feels loose or wobbly.

• Solution: Check all mounting screws and nuts from inside the top case. Tighten them securely. If the issue persists, inspect the top case lid for any damage around the mounting points.

Issue: Difficulty aligning mounting holes.

• Solution: Ensure the backrest is correctly oriented. If your top case has pre-marked holes, ensure you are using the correct ones for the D0ri60 model. If drilling, double-check measurements before drilling.
