Title: Driver Backrest Post by grandpa on 03/12/07 at 22:44:30 I saw a post about 60 days ago with a link to a company with a driver's backrest. I have searched evey possible word combo and can not find it. Have got my bike pretty well set to ride hard this summer.however after a hard day at work the 30-40 minute commute kills my lower back. I make John1652 look small. Iam 5'11" and way to close to 300 lbs (I know, I know) Lose some so Suzi' doesn't have to grunt so hard. Been a lifelong struggle. But anyway the backrest, although not cool looking to me, will help my old degenerative disk hang in there. Does anyone know if it will work with the sportster seat. Have access to an '07 Dyna solo seat. Anyone tried this one??? Haven't seen that one yet. Thanks for any advise !!! |

did some mods and had some blunders.. didnt like the small pad it came with so modded a pad from my tombstone bag with xtra padding and a piece of plywood to mount to ..added a piece of 1/2 " sch 80 pvc between the back of the pad and the support frame and have recently installed 1" set back extender blocks to the handlebar risers..still fine tuning ,thinkin of goin to 3/4" sch 80 pvc.. 1st blunder i drilled the bottom ends of the support rod so i could tap and put bolts in thru the bottom of the rail mounts...broke the tap in the second hole and the bolt (on the tapped side)was a pain to get to with saddle bags on...dont need to bolt down it doesnt fall up and out... DUHH>>> leads to second blunder remove (lift up!)back rest for passenger (or 30 pack of beer)loading.. dont tilt the whole thing forward it scratches the chrome off the side rails... otherwise love the kick back ride for this old construction workers back!! specially with the pegs on the engine guard... |
