2012 rider/passenger backrest idea
« on: September 05, 2011, 08:49:11 PM »
Been reading all the sorrows of the new 12 owners and i suddenly remembered looking at this in the kury catalog.  It may not b the best looking thing, and don't know how well it'll work but maybe a possible solution.  Pretty penny too :-\

Good GAWD! That is FUGLY beyond belief! Looks positively ALIEN. I have the latest Kury catalog, and all their new stuff is way overdone, or just Butt-A$$-FUGLY like that... they must all be taking some weird little pills in KuryLand!

I loved my backrest on my previous bike...  Someone has to come out with a good looking solution... Something that uses the same attaching points as the back pillow...Slides in front and fixed in back with something that looks like the chrome strips...I guess some woukd like to use it with the passenger pillow in place so that might be a problem.

I don't mind the looks of this one, but it has to work with the detach mount from HD....and this does not look like it does....

Check out "Utopia" backrests:

I have their backrest installed on my Goldwing. Well built, comfortable, factory installed appearance.
