Rider's backrest?
12/09/12 at 13:48:45
I have one on another bike & really miss not having one on the S40. (2006 with the single seat & no passenger backrest)
I'm 69 & my back is just not what it used to be.
How about info &/or photos from those who have adapted something that works? Or links to manufacturers? Or maybe adapting a seat with a backrest from a different bike?
Also, anybody tried something temporary that could be strapped on just for a 200-300 mile ride & left off for around town riding?

I played with adapting stuff. I finally purchased one from Protac. He made me custom mounts as I am a large around the middle rider. Let him know your concerns about your height and he will make it work.

Something like a stuffed duffel bag held down by a bungee net can give some relief even if not winning any beauty contests.

I haven't decided what I like about bikes like that. With the "tombstone" on back and a sleeping bag rolled up. Some can pull it off and some can't.
Anyway, the only person I know with a driver's back rest is Greg and he already posted.
