YES.
THAT is what I'd kill for.
The license-plate bracket is slick; but I'm not bothered by the stock one. But a backrest...yes. I have some ideas of my own; but they'll look crude and garage-engineered. I'd like to see something like what I had with the Corbin seat on my R1100RT - a slot in the seat for a drop-in spike backrest, either solo or pillion passenger.
Beyond that...I wish I could get an LED taillight that would keep the stock Honda headlight shape. I may go with the Lucas one; but haven't decided yet.

Yeah the Corbin backrest design is really nice with how it is mounted right into the seat. I would expect nothing less from a huge company that has making and designing seats for over 40 years. I wont be able to build it into the seat, but mine will be removable. I am not a big fan of backrests, but my wife needs one when she rides with me.
I wanted to mention that I did sell my one and only available License plate bracket kit on Etsy yesterday, but I will be making more. My wife is dragging me to Vegas this coming Friday for 5 days. I will try to get some more made and up on Etsy before I leave but we will see. Either way, when I get back I will be making a pile of them, some will be brushed aluminum, some will be painted black.
I am excited to get the backrest done!
