My Solution to Pillion Backrest

[Steve S]

I wanted to try this for a drivers back rest, what pad did you use?

I used the pad from the Triumph stock backrest, I cut off the legs from the backplate and turned it over its chrome on the other side.

Looks nice but I'm curious how much weight it can take before bending.

Its not really been tested yet, my wife is a part time summer rider, as it is quite low it is more of a bum support (that dont mean I carry tramps about!) than a backrest so you cant put much leverage on it.

Personnaly I would put a couple rubber stoppers (the sticky ones) under the bracket just in case it does bend then it wouldn't scratch your fender.
