Hey. I'm in the process of doing the cut to the hump and it looks like I got the width and height of the cut right but, when I try to stick it on, it seems like the plastic inside the hump is coming in contact with the grab rail. Did you guys have to cut the inside plastic piece as well? Or do I just need to keep cutting deeper? thanks

Take just a little at a time. Sometimes, the bolts that hold the grab rail on make contact with the underside of the hump. Make sure that is not happening, and if you have clearance, then you can take more off of the hump to make it fit better.
I had to play with the bolts that hold the Grab rail down, First I ground a little of the head off of the front set ( Set closest to the tank ) that helped a little but still didnt seem to sit right.
Try taking out the 2 bolts in the front, the ones closest to the tank out and see how it fits, I ended up tightening the back ones all the way, Still fit great and then putting in the front bolts and just snugging them. I think when you tighten the front ones it lifts up the back of the grab bar making it not fit quite right.
Im sure you will get other opinions but this is what worked for me

Thanks a lot for the help! I ended up cutting that whole section. I guess it wasn't needed but I eventually got it to fit. I have to put some force down for it to clip, but I like it that way. I'd rather not shave anymore of the hump off if I don't need to. I'll try to take a pic after I smooth out the cuts.

Cant wait to see it finished, just take your time!
Have not done a gen II yet. 
But i beleive there is a clearance issue with the bolts.(according to previous poster)
Next time Monoxide...use a dremel Bro. Not the rusty bread knife.

I will have to search, but I think you have to cut the pan where the back two mounting bolts meet the hump. Then modify the hump to install new bolts to keep the rear of the hump from flopping. The Gen II is not near as easy as the Gen I.
2009 thread, but I'm glad I leave the grab bar off my bikes

I took the bolts out completely because I thought the same thing. Still wont go down. I used a dremal. I just want to get it working and then I'll clean it up.

My wife likes to ride and every time I take the hump off and out her seat on she wants to grab bar. So it's just easier to keep it on.
