I think that $235.00 plus shipping for just the rack, I'll pass on this one. Thanks for posting though.

I just need to make some room in my cluttered shop so I could work in there. LOL

LOLNo, but I've been thinking that a few minutes in a metal shop should create some brackets that will mount up and can be drilled for a genaric backrest. Been thinking about how I'd make it.

- September 11, 2015, 12:16:36 PMA bracket, made up something like this one, would be all you'd need, and then you could mount any generic backrest you wanted by just drilling a couple of mounting holes.

- September 07, 2015, 16:40:25 PMWell with your talent and your size you just need a flat table some blocks of wood for a template, heat the round stock and bend it around in the jig. Then you just grind down any welds and then leave as is and sell them to members at a reasonable price, giving a cut to the forum to maintain it, some to your favorite church and all the good will to yourself. If I had the talent and space I would do just that ......

And Muktuk is frozen whale skin and blubber. Thanks anyways, I'll have a Snickers bar!

I have had several close calls for the backrest but all for a classic, not a Drifter.....
