Title: looking for Passenger Backrest for oem two up seat with seat rail
Post by: Dr J. Rankin McGougan on May 16, 2011, 19:23:11 PM
Does anyone make a passanger backrest for an OEM two-up seat with seat rail. My wife has espressed that on longer rides a backrest would be helpful.

The backrest for my 2-up, was made for a 650 Honda. I had to do a little modifications, but I think it looks great. I couldn't find any that fits. Most things done to Drifters are modification from the riders mind. I haven't found much accessories made just for drifters.I'll take a picture of the mount today and post it late so you can see how I was able to make it work. The photo attached has the back on, just not a good photo

Here are photos of the backrest bolted on the extension for the two up seat. Hope this helps

HI

I appreciate the Pix. I don't have the saddlebag brackets and they seem impossible to locate. But looking at how you made it work has given me some ideas.

Thanks again

Hi 1st SG

I am relatively new to this site so I may not be looking in the right place but I was unable to locate the saddlebag mounting bracket at the Store. Is there a specific place I should be looking.

Thanks again

They are actually found in the accessories section of the main web site. Below is the kind that are on my bike. They do have a couple more depending on what kind of saddlebags you are going to run.  Let me know if this helps.
