Thanks Fredfoot,

I bought the backrest frame this morning from George and I'll be ordering the matching cvo pad asap.



@15CVOSG, I read the OP and I also have hours of reading the parts book. The 2015 parts book only shows a pad for the passenger back rest on page #378. I just wanted to make sure it was the one that Fredfoot and others are using as a Rider backrest pad. Thanks…

check with George to see if he is going to send you out a re-designed backrest model with welded braces ... it will not work ... l just got mine today and called Lonnie at Grasshopper ... hopefully he contacted George to hold up sending out the new designed one since l saw it did not work ...

What exactly is the issue then?, do the braces get in the way of the seat or pillion, I kinda thought the new version would have a thicker bar, not a braced version.....crikey at the higher price you would have thought they would have tested it first!! ???

Thanks Wild Hog 4

I just sent George an email to see what's up. It's my understanding that he is getting ready to ship me one of the new ones. I made it clear when I bought one that I wanted the new version. But it does me no good if it doesn't work/fit.

I'll let you know what he has to say, when he responds to the email.

yes,...the placement of the braces does not allow the pass. pad to slide back on ... so l called immediately and they will look into it ...

Are you able to snap & post a pic of the new frame. If so, that would be great….

Thank you

    l spoke w/ Lonnie at Grasshopper after receiving the new updated bracket... l was having difficulty re-installing the pass.pad ... he said the original bracket was made out of Steel ... this had allowed for some flexing ... so they ( Lonnie @Grasshopper & George @Badboyzrideforlife ) decided to design it out of stainless steel, so there would be less flex. But, by having added the braces as seen in pic to make sure of no flexing ... the braces did not allow the pass. pillion to be re-installed.   Lonnie will be sending me a new bracket made out of the stainless steel material without the braces added ... this should take care of the pass. pad install problem as well as the flexing ....

 l can confirm this to work... l went ahead and removed the braces with a dremel ... and did notice very little to no flexing... l guess this will be there new updated version ... for what it does by allowing us to keep our stock cvo solo seat and add a riders backrest. the price and concept can't be beat ... l for one am very happy ... l need a riders backrest and this has solved my problem without changing and buying a new seat...

Also heard from George.
"The fabricator miss read the blue print and he was off by 1/8 of an inch which Lonnie and I are working on fixing the big and should be out in production this week. I just became aware of the defect the machine shop made an error reading the blue print and you will be getting the new corrected version of the bracket that will allow you to pair it up with the passenger seat furthermore anyone that purchase one with the incorrect version they will receive at no charge at all the corrected version. Once again the new new version is in process and it will be corrected with 5 days. ".

So I will wait until they resolve the error and get the version 3 sent to me. I reckon it is well worth waiting for.
Cheers  :drink:

Just had an email from Badboyz. The newly v3 modified back rest is on its way to me on Tuesday. So I'm a week or so time I'll have it on the bike and will post up some pics and review.  :jalapeno:

I am off on a Road Trip to the South of France via ferry Portsmouth to Bilbao Spain, then a three day ride across southern France to Saint Tropez for the HOG Euro Rally. Lots of Rock n' Roll,  :drummer: Eye Candy and oh yeh Bikes. I pray the rain stays away. Could do with the backrest now, but it won't arrive in time unfortunately. Will improvise with my touring bag on the pillon seat so Ill be able to chill out against the pack.
I love Road Trips  :jalapeno:
