Title: backrest for 1500 stock 2-up
Post by: DrifteRizzo on September 08, 2014, 08:51:26 AM
Looking for a backrest for my '99 1500.  Would prefer black hardware, but its not a deal breaker.  Does anyone know of someone selling one, where I can buy one new(ish) or any great ideas/hints on fabricating one myself.

Thanks for the help!

If you fab one up, you'll have to come up with a mount that would probably be similar to the mount I made for my tour pack.  I have a couple pics you're welcome to look at.  Some of the pics show the pack hanging in the garage, so you'll have to turn your head sideways, which should get a laugh from the wife.

These things are hard to find, but if you keep you eyes open you may find one. There are no sources for new ones - except custom.


Here is one member's set up.. .http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/backrest.html (http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/backrest.html)


Also I have a source for the backrest, grab rails and luggage rack with hardware... its $350 plus shipping from Canada. These are discontinued and hard to find, so the price is fair.
