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.

I have also added the 2012 windshield and GPS. the windshield that came on the 2011 is just about useless. I was getting a lot of whistling in my ears and turbulence in my face. The 2012 is much better.

I will be trailering my 2012 FLSTSE3 home tomorrow, as they put a ton or two of road salt on the roads today. but at least it will be home.

Satin Pewter - the pictures do NOT do it justice.

Very Nice! Congrats on your new ConV. :orange:

Took it out today after installing the Gerbings wireing harness, 34 degrees, but the raods were dry. Only a 35 miler, but it ride nice, I like the Mini Apes, and the 110 SE motor. Rain and snow in the forecast the rest of the week, so now it will sit with the cover and battery tender till march or when the roads are SALT free.

Thx Spy - it really does. I have enjoyed my previous two CVO's and this one is not disappointing.  :2vrolijk_21:

will be adding 62823-08B flush mount fuel gauge/cap and have all winter to consider which exhust to buy. Most likely it will be a 2-1.
I was happy with the Bassani RR Long with the quiet baffle.

I will be talking to some fabrication shops near me to get one of these made for my solo seat.
What gauge steel is yours made of and do you know the angle of the bend?

I don't know the gauge but it is 1/8" thick. the lean angle depends on your height and arm length. I took of the sissy bar pad and took it to the welder and sat on the bike with the pad where I wanted it and had him determine the angle.

I am working on my version of the seat back.   The angle from the seat to straight up is about 120 degrees.

It will be awhile but when I get mine finished,  I will post pictures.

Just a thought......I found someone to make the seat bracket for me and he has the CAD drawing to allow him to now make copies of the bracket. I can have them made with or without the mounting holes drilled. Probably a small price difference without the holes.
I'm trying to see if there is any demand for this part. The fabricator would rather make a run of 50 pieces rather than one at a time (understandable)
I think I can get them made for less than $60.00 each in heavy gauge steel that will not bend as you lean on it.

Anyone who is interested, let me know and we will see if it is feasible.

I was considering buying one, but found that I the 2010 model has the emblem welded on the sissy bar.  2011, 2012 is an insert and can be used on the solo seat back as shown.   The cost is about $50 for the emblem.

Sorry,  I will continue my exploration of prototypes.

First off, I want to wish everyone a happy holiday season, whichever holiday you celebrate and a healthy & safe 2012.
I will need a final count from all who are interested in ordering the part so I can tell the shop how many to produce...I will probably have him do a few extras.

If it is not against the rules, you can send the total cost which will include shipping (to 48 states) $68.00

to......BETTER-WAY PRODUCTS
         PO BOX 991
         BENSALEM, PA. 19020
         ATTENTION- STEVE

Will probably be sending out towards the end of Jan.

The Fabricator is working on the seatbacks now.
Not sure yet about the chroming though.
I know they can be either painted with a black hammer finish or  powder coated.
If you guys want chrome maybe I will send you the bare steel and you can get it chromed locally.

A bit of a slow-up at the powder-coater. I should be able to get the brackets early next week and ship them out to you guys the same day. I had 10 made so I still have a couple more available.

Good News!!!

Brackets all shipped out to you guys yesterday.  I screwed up a bit on the shipping. The brackets and bubble wrap and box were a lot heavier than I thought and UPS seems to have raised the rates.

I have a few extra brackets avail, but I have to get $75.00 for any future orders (shipping included)

Hope you guys like the Brackets.

All of the seat brackets are spoken for.

So far, I have 1 person interested, if 3 or 4 more are, I will get another batch made up

Hi Guys....It looks like two more people are interested in the solo seat backrest bracket. I need to get them made in minimum lots of 10.
So if anyone else is interested (price is still $75), let me know and I will have another batch made.

Thanks,

I hope I'm not one of those two.  I just mailed my money to you for what you said was your last one on hand.  You should have no problem getting another group together.  Anyone with a softail could use this not just the CVO.  Can't wait for it to arrive.

I just received my solo seat bracket from SJR  today and decided I don't want to use it.  I never put it on the bike and will sell for $50, mailed to your door. It is unpainted, so you can select your own color.  Send me a PM.

item has been SOLD..

Hello Fellow Convertible Owners,
I have gotten a few private emails from some owners wishing to purchase a solo seat back bracket.
I had these made up before and sold them all. I can't get less than 10 made at one time, so I need anyone who is interested to reply to me here.
If more than 5 or 6 replies come in, I will have another batch made.
probably will take about 2 weeks to get them ready to ship. Price is still $75.
Let me know, Thanks

Are any of these still available?  If not, let me know when the next batch comes around as I would like one.   I like riding with the pillion off, but it does lose some support in the low back area when you remove it.

How many of you are interested in obtaining the solo seat back?
I spoke to the fabricator about making another set and it looks like we are at about $85.00 each, but I need to get a bunch produced to get that price.
Let me know who is interested.

What is considered a "BUNCH" ? :nixweiss:

How many of you are interested in obtaining the solo seat back?
I spoke to the fabricator about making another set and it looks like we are at about $85.00 each, but I need to get a bunch produced to get that price.
Let me know who is interested.

Thanks

The solo backrest looks like a great addition.  I am interested in a chrome or black bracket - any color for that matter.

-Does anyone have one that they want to part with?
-Would anyone have an electronic template and I will have a local shop make me one (slim chance but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask)?

Going on 2 sizable rides this summer, would be a nice to have.

Anyone....anyone?

I bought the softail deluxe (with slot) just in case I had to bend it slightly.

I have not tried it yet but will let you know later how it fits

Did have to bend it back slightly on the seat location screws but it was ok and the chrome did not crack so in all it was a good deal

Finally got the mounting hardware for the Corbin seat I got off EBay and will sell my backrest with the bracket I bought from here.  This is on a 2011 convertible.  Not only do I have the backrest but I also bought the pad #54393-11 and 2 fender screws #51676-97A.  These make it easy to take the pad off when mounting the bracket. This is in brand new condition since I ended up using my luggage as a backrest on the longer trips.  My cost for this was $270 will let it go for $170 shipped.
