Hi,
I've got me a set of headrests and plastic rings for my touring, my question is how do you know where to make the holes? Am i right in thinking touring rear benches already have the internal bits fitted as standard?

so its just a case of making holes? but where exactly?

thanks, Andy.

All explained in the article below:

Use a screwdriver or similar to poke up and you will then be able to feel where you should make the hole :)

Those white washers are a right pain to locate & fix in the channel of the seat.

Yup looks like it could be a bit fiddly, i've cut the holes but then it got too dark - damn winter - i'll post some pics up when i'm done. Thanks for all the advice.

Nice job, well done. Always think tourings look much better with rear headrests
