- August 13, 2017, 15:53:35 PMWent on a 230 mile ride yesterday with a buddy of mine. Used the new rack/backrest setup.....all I can say is "WOW"....talk about comfortable, especially when using the highway pegs....not once did I get any back strain or feel the need to stop and stretch (not so with my co-rider on his Harley Road King..50 miles a stretch was all he could do without stopping). Should make longer runs much more enjoyable... 
Plus the rack is a good place to set your skid-lid during a break :-)

- August 06, 2017, 13:32:16 PMI am 100% interested in the luggage rack and backrest mount. The sadllebag mounts that were already on the bike are identical to yours so I should be all set there.

I will take orders for them and have them made....at this point, I only have the prototypes that I am testing to make sure that they work correctly....so far, everything is working well. I believe that the current design is functional and will work for 99% of buyers....so if you are interested let me know and I will get it ordered tomorrow from my fabricator....if anyone else is interested, I will need to know asap...
I need to know exactly what interested parties need:
Bag mounts? I currently have 1 new set in inventory, but it is listed on ebay...to be sold on a first come basis.....new ones take about 3 weeks...
Rack (bags mounts required) - will have to order take about 3 weeks
Backrest Mount (rack and bag mounts required) - will have to order---3 weeks
I have decided on the following pricing:
bag mounts - here they are $100 on ebay they are $110
Rack - here $90 on ebay will be $100
Backrest mount - here $40 with hardware - ebay -$45 with hardware
I have to charge more on ebay to cover their selling fees.....
Still working on a similar rack design for the 1500...
I did spend the extra money on a quality backrest pad from Mustang.....not model specific....any backrest pad with a hard plastic or wooden back-plate can be used. 1" wood screws will mount it up just fine. The Mustang backrest I got actually has nut inserts in the wood back plate....the center one lines up with either the top hole or the bottom hole in the mount, so I use it and just one wood screw....can mount it either up higher or down lower...depending on the rider' preference....plus the rack can be adjusted up or down as well (4 sets of mounting holes for adjusting the height when attaching to the saddlebag mounts) I used longer saddlebag bolts on the top holes held tight by nuts and then attached the rack and tightened down with lock nuts.....that way I can take the rack off without totally loosening the saddlebags, if necessary.

- August 05, 2017, 22:48:47 PMthere are two mounting heights for the backrest pad...I have it on the higher one in the picture....it can move down on the mount about 2 inches, and the rack adjusts a total of 3 inches up or down. lots of positioning for just about anyone's preference....
I get back spasm in my rib cage area (old lifting injury) so I like the pad up a little higher....

- July 25, 2017, 07:18:04 AMthanks....yeah, it won't work with the springer seat (I took mine off to mount the rack and backrest). I only use my springer seat for local riding..when I am going on a longer ride, I swap it out for the oem seat (which I had re-foamed with a gel pad and memory foam).

Well done and one-of-a-kind job!
I'd buy one, if only I had a OEM single seat...

- July 24, 2017, 21:24:02 PMI am going to list the items separately and as a full setup in the classifieds.....I will leave the selection of the backrest pad up to the buyer...there are 4 mounting holes and just about any style backrest will attach....pricing will be as follows:
Saddlebag mounts (required for the rear rack) $100 plus shipping
Rear Rack - $100 plus shipping (requires saddlebag mounts)
Backrest mount (rear rack required) - $45 plus shipping (includes stainless steel hex head mounting screws with lock-nuts) Does not include backrest pad - buyers can pick their own to suit their individual tastes. There are 4 mounting holes in the backrest mount to use for attaching the pad.
Full setup - bag mounts, rack and backrest mount - $230 plus shipping ($15 savings of individual pricing)
I am working on a backrest/mount design that does not require the saddlebag mounts, but getting it to look halfway acceptable is proving difficult....I am trying to hide the frame under the seat part-way when coming up from the mounts (mounts in the same holes as the saddlebag mounts) so it doesn't stand out so bad....the one I am working on for the 1500 is similar to the Wompus rack, but not nearly as fugly....will have the same top as the 800 rack....with mounting holes for the backrest mount. I need someone to give me the exact measurements of the mounting points for the 1500 under the seat (outside to outside and inside to inside) so I can get the design completed. Also, how far under the seat the rearmost mounting hole is on each side (exactly from the back of the seat frame/base). so...any 1500 owners out there that are interested in this type of set-up...get me the info...
