backrest question
03/26/11 at 08:41:24
Is it possible to put a backrest from the older model ls650 (savage) onto the newer s40's? I have a 2006. I see lots of used backrests on ebay for the older models but not the s40s. I need a backrest because I am now taking my daughter to school and it seems a lot safer with a backrest. Thanks......

Be careful. I ordered some mounting holes but lost them when I opened the package. Must have rolled under the work bench.

But they were left-handed holes anyway, so they wouldn't have worked.

Thanks for the encouragement. I finally got a 2001 savage backrest on my 2006 s40. It fits great, bolts right on with the mounting hardware.

Hey, you need a back time more than a backrest!

I am thinking about wrapping my pipes. Did you do it yourself and was it difficult?
Do you have an additional picture?

Here are a couple photos of the header wrap. I got 25' which was enough to wrap the pipe up until it meets the muffler. The wrap came with steel zip ties. I have it mainly for safety so I don't burn myself or my kids. I think it would look neat to have a straight pipe out the back with the whole thing wrapped.

Nice Job!
I have the same concern about the kids! I would like to do the same but I do not want to remove the pipe to apply the tape and if it does not meet my satisfaction I want to be able to remove it without damage to the pipes.
