Back Support 3 Years, 10 Months ago  
For the times when I do long rides, at times my back aches. God, I'm still in my early 30's.

Anyway, can someone recommend a good back rest (or whatever they're called). I want something that can easily come on and taken off. Thing is, I have a solo seat. I don't know if it's possible.

Thanks!

I may be mistaking, but that looks like the style that uses the passenger mounting bracket to mount. I have mad emy own using the tech article. It was very easy and fun to personalize it to work for me. I made it longer and offset it.

They work great, but not with the solo seat. You have to have the stock back seat and bracket.

I have this back rest on my bike it is nice and easy to remove but does require a passenger seat bracket or bolt to mount up with.

I also ran into the problem of an aching back and im only 22! I have a grannuchi seat. I also have Kuryakyns grantailgater bag. The reason I bought it was it provided back support and storage since I do not have bags. Although I underestimated the size (its huge) it works well. I straps right to the underside of my passengers seat. I imagine you could achieve this same thing if you had yamahas rack. The bag is great if you are traveling cross country. Yes, its that big. If I were to do it all over again I would get the grantour or even the tombstone.

I use a mustang solo with back rest that will set you back about $500 real comfy on long ride

I recently ordered the $105 seat off of Ebay & really like it. It was easy to install & looks good. You can order it a few dollars cheaper directly from the company. http://www.grasshopperlimited.com
