I fabbed this backrest up for a trip to the apostle islands...did a great job holding a tail bag and the lady had no complaints! Let me know what you think!

Very nice job. did it scratch the paint at all?

 no, underneath the bracket are rubber mounts...no metal touches the fender at all. I had intended to get it powder coated, but I have a couple different options I am still playing with. The gf seems to think the 90 degree angle is more comfortable then the 95.

any pics w/ the saddle in place?

I like it very nice ever think of adding a rack to it ?

 sure do

 I have, and I do have a good mounting idea for the rack that would be a quick detach type. I haven't had a use for a rack yet, but if anyone were interested I could fab up a few more.

That is just what i was looking for quick detach type and maybe a short version backrest ? I think 4M members would be interested i am

Looks good man. it's good to be able to create things outta ur own stable. Nice work!!

I can do a short version too, this pad fit well with my tail bag. 

This is the pad that is on there now

I did one from a deuce shorty bracket, but this is much better as its taller.
