Backrest
07/19/08 at 07:06:19

I am looking at getting a backrest. When my daughter rides with me I am so afraid she is going to slide right off the back. I went to the dealership to order one but of course the dread phase was said "it's on back order" and they do't know when they will be available. I have NO patience for that kind of stuff. So my question is what other backrest are out there that will fit an 07?

How old, what is she hanging on to? If I carry a passenger they wrap their arms around my body and hold onl tight -- I ain't moving otherwise. They let go once and they are off permanently. (this rule stems from 1964 when my sister slipped off the back of the bike)

she's 16 and is really good at hanging on but the other night we hit a bmp in the road and it bounced both of us pretty good. She bounced off the seat a little and was too afraid to move (already had the talk about squirming around behind me). Also want one to attach a bag too also.

Especially on the interstate going 70-80 mph! Rode with my son several times like that and its a little strange hanging onto him...LOL. Will let you know if I run across one.
