Some mods to the bracket are required but for me at least it is very comfy and not expensive.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #508893 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 10095 Re:Driver backrest 11 Months ago   I'v seen some cheapy backrest pads that look like they maybe hook into the seat horn on Ebay.   Logged     feel free to look thru my albums email me at jasonwoody1982@yahoo.com my 2005 midnight 1700 ORIGINAL ROAD SLAMMER   The administrator has disabled public write access. #508895 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2262 Re:Driver backrest 11 Months ago   Here you go...

It mounts to the horizontal fender bolt and is adjustable. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170864502588?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I couldn't get the link to copy right, but if you do a search on ebay for "Fully Adjustable Driver's Backrest for Yamaha Road Star Roadstar" you'll find it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #509008 Planet42 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 116 Re:Driver backrest 11 Months ago   Doc_V wrote: Here you go...

For me, it works as a good lumbar support, and it's easily removable. You can also get it from them thru ebay and save a few bucks.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #509091 Just Dave (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 439 Re:Driver backrest 11 Months ago   Thom M wrote: I've been thinking about getting this one.

Bought one of these last Tue. Got it in the mail on Fri.(from California no less)! Rode 150 mi. with it Sat. & couldn't be happier! Kept the bad back from killing me after an hour or so riding. I still want to replace the stock seat, but maybe I can save that money a while longer now.   Logged     http://s671.photobucket.com/user/jhurdle/library/?sort=6&page=1   The administrator has disabled public write access.
