After getting back from Interlochen, decided that I needed to do something about increasing the passenger riding space. The most obvious is is to thin down the HUGE stock passenger backrest. It measures 4" thick on the sides - an unnecessary waste of space.
So I decided to try my hand at prototyping a new backrest. All I needed was a piece of plywood, some foam, some faux leather, some tacky spray cement, and some staples. Did not want to disasseble the stock backrest, so I also needed some bolts. And how can you do anything like this without a good bourbon to make things easier!
Here is how the prototype looks. It is smaller, fitting inside the sissybar frame, and a LOT thinner. Now I have to put some miles on it to see how it feels. Anyone up for a ride on the back of the bike?
