I have a Tallboy on my 2005 FLHTC. I already had the rider backrest, and the Tallboy does have the slot. The backrest bracket needs go backwards an inch or two, and was really too far foreward on the stock seat.
Either way, someplace prior to getting the new seat I saw something on a relocation bracket for the backrest. I thought it was in here, but I've been searching posts and can't find it.
Been reading through all of these? What's to bend, any movement at all and something isn't going to bolt up. If I come up with a longer bracket to frame (near the battery box), I'm out of holes in the base. And there isn't any room at the base of the bracket to drill.
It isn't just that the angle is off and bending the rods on the backrest would fix it. The base of the bracket is was a little too far foreward with the old seat. The Tallboy seat slot is farther towards the rear of the bike and really forces the back of the rider portion of the seat forward, so much I'm afraid using it would damage the seat.
