#398348 nasomi (User) Life's to important to take seriously. Senior Boarder Posts: 388 Looking for a real back seat 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'm looking for a real back seat for the R*. Not just a sissy bar, but the wrap-around like on touring cycles. Nothing huge, but something bigger than a sissy bar to make those longer rides more comfortable for the back seat driver.   Logged     Jay 2001 Yamaha Road Star 1600 2004 Ford Excursion Diesel   The administrator has disabled public write access. #398450 workharddieproud (User) "HALF GUILTY, HALF INSANE" Gold Boarder Posts: 894 Re:Looking for a real back seat 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'd say the only thing you could get would be like a trunk with built in wrap around back rest built in, you can find them pretty cheap on Ebay or other websites, depending on how much you want to spend and some of the trunks aren't that big anyway.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #398529 Transam1 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 650 Re:Looking for a real back seat 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Like work said, You can get the Ultimate sissybar pad it's a good deal larger than the factory one but no wrap around.

Senior Boarder Posts: 388 Re:Looking for a real back seat 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Wow, I really like that. It's exactly what I had in mind. How difficult is the trunk to install? Any modification required? I'm having trouble finding the one with gloss black that I see in your sig Boatmark, I can only find the wrap around backrest that clips onto the trunk. Those prices are insanely low too, that's hundreds upon hundreds lower than anything I've seen. How difficult was the install?   Logged     Jay 2001 Yamaha Road Star 1600 2004 Ford Excursion Diesel   The administrator has disabled public write access. #398627 nasomi (User) Life's to important to take seriously. Senior Boarder Posts: 388 Re:Looking for a real back seat 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Found the trunk. That's insane, $99, plus $69 for the wrap around pad. That's cheaper than a sissy bar anywhere else I've seen them.   Logged     Jay 2001 Yamaha Road Star 1600 2004 Ford Excursion Diesel   The administrator has disabled public write access. #398656 jeckes (User) Hardened Target Platinum Boarder Posts: 1298 Re:Looking for a real back seat 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   nasomi wrote: Found the trunk.

I have that one You will be doing some stiffening up of the walls (ABS plastic rather than fiberglass)and lid, and tightening up around the latch to get it to seat correctly. I made a plate to go on top of my luggage rack to support the entire bottom of the trunk. Also, if your not putting it on right away, don't keep it in the house. Has an awful oder from the thermoforming but that goes away in a couple days. It's functional and OK but I will be replacing it with a more sturdy unit when funds allow.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #398661 MaiRoadie (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 372 Re:Looking for a real back seat 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   You can add these to a larger sissy bar. http://www.ultimateseats.ca/armrest.html   Logged     LEARN TO SWIM, LEARN TO SWIM, LEARN TO SWIM   The administrator has disabled public write access. #398974 nasomi (User) Life's to important to take seriously. Senior Boarder Posts: 388 Re:Looking for a real back seat 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Can you tell me what you used to brace it up? Looks like a luggage rack, but I can't find a luggage rack that isn't part of a sissy bar.   Logged     Jay 2001 Yamaha Road Star 1600 2004 Ford Excursion Diesel   The administrator has disabled public write access.
