| | Posted : 17 Apr 2012 - 20:35 Post title : Rider Backrest | | | I fitted this today after looking around for a backrest that would work with the long haul rider seat.
Not bad at all... cracking build quality from Germany. It feels very comfortable, but new, at the mo and I know I will get used to it very quickly. Will be very useful on the 'Bloc' tour.

| | Posted : 18 Apr 2012 - 19:27 Post title : Re: Rider Backrest (Re: mat1600) | | | Had a few peeps call regarding the fitting and confusion on whether there is 2 or three fittings for the back rest.
There are 3 fitting points for the back rest. My initial pics did not show well the third fitting where you would usually have the screw in for the standard pillion seat.
Also the position of the back rest to the seat.
Hopefully these will help...
