Passenger Backrest Fitment Question

[pcarrell]

I DID warn you!

[DC]

Quit looking at it!

I can't erase if from memory.  I close my eyes and see lots of white and. . . . .  .   

[pcarrell]

I did not post that by the way notice Pastor dude has posted it a heck of a lot more then I ever did......

But you posted it first!  I just posted it because you challenged me!

Sorry everyone, but I did warn you!

[CDNRatMan]

pardon......and they think we do not enjoy shoveling snow...eh!

I did not post that by the way notice Pastor dude has posted it a heck of a lot more then I ever did......

...and for the record, NO, I'm not bolting THAT to the back of my bike for my wife to sit on.

[Donkey]

Huh. Thought I'd seen everything. Turns out I'll never see anything again now that my retinas are burned out.

Kinda makes me sorry I asked about "seats"...

[Troll]

Quit looking at it!

[DC]

AAAARGH!  My EYES!!!   I'm ruined!!!!!        Some things just can't be unseen.   

[pcarrell]

Are you saying that I haven't seen your snow angel pic?

  Pastor Dude some place in the good book it does state that bearing false witness against thy neighbour is wrong, but then I am not your neighbour, so that might be the catch all, Jeffery who brought you a T shirt and delivered it almost to your door step, and I paid for them fries myself....so there......

[pcarrell]

[Donkey]

He had the fries at the chip stand. I didn't.

Just sayin'.

[pcarrell]

Hey!  I've seen the snow angel pic, so I can attest to the fact that Mr. Ratman is about the same build as I am.

[CDNRatMan]

remember I seen you sitting on the picnic table bench........lave it alone unless you want to be embarrassed.......

[Donkey]

So what are you saying...  That guys with 1500's have wider seats?!  Maybe I'm just carrying a little water weight...  I'm so hurt.

[CDNRatMan]

   That looks exactly like the sissy bar back rest I bought from Custom Wings in Belgium.

Rewelding might be the answer if you have access to the equipment but what about the width of the unit to the seat? Not sure how wide the seat is on a 1500 vice an 800......

[pcarrell]

I looks right, but I don't know for sure about the bolt holes lining up.  It'd be easy enough to reweld new tabs if it didn't line up.

[Donkey]

Hey gang...

This backrest was marketed as fitting both an 800 and a 1500, as seen at the bottom of the ad.

I know that the horseshoe bracket is different on both bikes, as the frame is different, but can anyone confirm whether or not this backrest will bolt to a 1500?

Thanks...
