solo seat back
« on: October 23, 2011, 01:38:01 AM »
i had this made for my convertable. it attaches to the two thumb screws that hold the seat. I used the pad and chrome piece from the sissy bar. i'll try to add a picture.

Nice job. Is it functional or did you do it mainly for looks? I'll bet it's a Ba$t@rd to get at those thumb screws now.

It is functional. works great!! The thumb screws are hard to reach so i just take the pad off and then you can get to them.

NICE...Sure looks good.

Could you post a picture of the part the you made without the pad on it?

Is your pad solid enough to lean against it?

I have been trying to come up with a similar approach, but so far it has not been stable enough to lean against it without putting to much force on the nuts and maybe scratching the fender.

It sits on the seat pan so it doesn't touch the paint. it is very sturdy and you can lean on it hard.

May I ask who made it for you? Also, can you tell me where you purchased the hardware pictured in the 3rd photo?  I would love to have one made as I have a Mustang seat with back rest on another bike. Thanks. :cherry:

I'm not sure what hardware your talking about? The mount I had made by a local welder(total cost for everything $35.00). I mocked it up in cardboard and had him copy it. the rest of the hardware (pad and chrome mounting bar) came from the sissy bar.

The 3rd photo depicting a black metal component which I assume is the backrest that the pad is affixed to. I call it hardware but I guess that is the wrong term. I wonder where you got it from.

Would you consider having another made for me? I will send you the money first of course. Would love to get that setup on mine.

That does look great and I also would like to get one. I can see what you mean about taking the pad off first to get to the thumbscrews.
