A way to provide some kind of security to your passenger without spending a bundle... I started with a Hurricane grab rail from Web Bike in Japan. It was shipped here to Wisconsin within a week. I then found this backrest (pad only) on Ebay for about $15. Combined them to make a modest but effective backrest/grabrail combo for about $125.
Not a cross-country solution but great for short trips around town with a passenger on the back.
That should be enough to give your passenger a sense of security. Good job.
That looks very nice. Good job!
Nicely done.
Well done, Mike. Looks good.
Nice!

Yes sir, short, sweet and simple....Thumbs Up
How did you mount the seat? Did you just drill through the grab bar and into seat back?
Do tell! I recently installed a Hepco Alurack which has a high grab bar that sits behind the seat. That pad looks like it would be perfect.

Q: How does it attach to your grab rail?

Q: Do you know the dimesions of the pad (height x width)?

Q: Do you have a link to the eBay seller?

Thanks in advance!
