Does any body out there even HAVE a spare riders backrest pad. I have a spare modified set of the hardware, but no pad. The passenger backrests are still out there, but no rider ones.

Just mod a big pillion one to fit. I have a few of the Touring Longhaul pillion backrest kits. These are similar to the original Riders backrest in that they have a back cover and a mounting plate in the kit and even an embellishment badge. See image of seats below and similarity between these pillion pads #15 and Riders backrest pad #14 that originally came with this 'Special Edition' Longhaul seats package.

[TheKid]

Uh it's brown right???? Dang Ken you don't have a fashion bone in ya do ya?

That was before I dyed the the leather. It was black in Stearns,now it is fading to brown again, but the back of my jacket looks new

Matches his chap things that Kid wears

I gave up on the brown chaps. Too thick. I wanted to give them to Sandy for the Indian. Mentioned in a post awhile back.

.....it’s to clean.

I spent hours on it over two days cleaning to a show level including chrome polish and a full F11 polish and sealer application. Even the wheels received a full polish and the rubber tires are wiped down. It’s been nothing but rain and floods here lately and the roads are covered in gravel and mud. The back roads are loaded with tractor mud and cow crap.

Ever clean your bike to well?

I thought that's what the lemon pledge was for.. Is there something wrong with lemon scented cow crap?

Yes I do not like cow crap scented in any flavor.

She trade that Indian with the brown leather seat so she does not need them any longer but thanks for thinking of her.
