I need a taller backrest
04/18/16 at 10:06:19
I'd like to pick up a tailbag for longer trips, but the stock sissy bar is pretty short. Does anyone know of a taller backrest that fits the OEM fender braces?

I have looked for a long time but the only one I have seen for sale is this one:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/291705461171?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageNa...
It is still available.
There are plenty of cheap Asian ones that bolt onto the side of the fender struts.

Sure - I'll put it on and get some daylight shots on the weekend. There is a bit of cleanup to do, handles etc.
Here it is in it's proper stance, and showing the pullback angle.

On tour I carried a 21" airline carry on suitcase.

The bracket is in the garage, free just for actual shipping costs.

I checked it. I keep rewriting the rant, considering changing my avatar to a pic of my "oh bother I fell down!" (It wasn't a skillet)

It certainly left a mark that I could have believed was a Jimmy Conners backhand with a skillet.
I understand how that picture could cause someones guts to cringe. I still have the avatar on another forum.. I wish I had a full size print out. Id hang it up in the shop.

First bolt up of the sissy bar. Must have made the measurements right as it fitted straight up.
The angle is to match the angle of the new +4" forks - thanks to Greg from the site who helped make it possible.
I'll do a write up of the bike in projects but if anyone wants to know details, happy to share.
