Back rest and top case.

Post by David R »

I could not find what I wanted so I found the pad at a local honda shop for $5.00.

I cut and welded some alulminum. I only had 1/8" x 2" strips so I welded them together. Made a small bracket and bolted it to the pellican type top case.

Bolts are stainless steel and sealed for water.

she likes it. :lol:

I had her get on the bike so I could see how high it needed to be.
Now I don't have to worry about her falling off. :lol:

Maybe add some arm rests... Then he will not fall of for sure :)

I might have to ask you to make something like that for me once my bike arrives.... Nice job and nice price on that by the way!
