Having a "rider" backrest turns a 300 mile per day bike into a 500 mile per day bike. It helps keep your back straight so there's less fatigue.

Is there a point to the pretty plane picture?

Nope, sorry. I screwed up on my pbucket acct. Let's see if I can redeem myself.fireguzzi wrote:Is there a point to the pretty plane picture?

BTW, that's Steve McQueen's old biplane.

I have a backrest on my Road King Classic. Never thought I would want one. But I love it for long trips.

Re: Do you like your drivers backrest?
I got a driver's backrest for the same reason-back pain after longer rides. I must say that it has been one of the best investments I have made for the bike. Back pain is gone and it makes using the cruise pegs so much more enjoyable. I ordered mine from grasshopperltd.com for around $90. I would recommend them to anyone.
three motos to live by: 1) It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission, 2) Life's tough; get a helmet, and 3) If it doesn't fit-force it.

I didn't know he around that long ago, the plane looks like its from the 1920's or at least between the two world wars

Now that's the kind of garage I need.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Re: Do you like your drivers backrest?
i bought a mustang seat set - with backrest - amazing! the whole stem/pad comes out if i need it to, but it gives me great support!

still recovering - back to crutches, then walking with a stick, then running - then hopefully riding again!
