This is my version of backrest for my 2002 800 Drifter. I have been reading this post as I have been working on my version of a back rest and then a drivers back rest. I have fabricated my own from simple metal from Lowes. I will be posting some pictures and descriptions if anyone is interested. The first pic shows the back rest bracket with a handle bar bag attached, the others are of the finished passenger back rest.

OH now someone will take offense to that ......you are so bad........Does Mrs. GreenBarn really ride with you?

Yes, but I'm pretty sure (99.999% positive) that I wouldn't be allowed to buy or wear a shirt like that....   :o

  if you are riding two up then you will need to fab something, if you are riding solo then like I suggested use your pack as a backrest.I do it all the time and works well.

I could use that shirt either way! I guess I'll be buying some material and fabricating a backrest.

OR...
you could just take a passenger with you---
with proper instructions, this can make a nice cushy back rest.

  If you have a stock 2 up seat as you say, I used to make my back pack into a back rest, and it can come off really fast. I then bought a sissy bar for the passenger, and when on a long trip alone I use my Sissy bar pack and it becomes my backrest, and is as stiff as I want it to be. Check out the sissy bar packs, or at least a day pack for a back rest.

You will have to make your own, unfortunately. And, I don't recall seeing a mod like that...

I'm looking to take a ride from New Jersey to Florida for Bike week when it comes and I want to get a driver backrest for my stock 2 up seat. I was wondering if anyone makes one or am I better off just making one myself?
