Makeshift backrest - Mike_imp - 03-26-2014
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.

How did you mount the seat? Did you just drill through the grab bar and into seat back?
RE: Makeshift backrest - flynrider - 04-25-2014
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!
