back rest and luggage rack 9 Months, 1 Week ago
Have been added. Got them for a steal on ebay. Not too excited about the pad for the rest but it came with a nice chrome bracket that I can use for a different pad. Also got the nice luggage rack. Will both come in handy when we head down to Atlanta at the end of the month!

Have found I use my luggage rack quite a bit,before I had one strapped a bag on fender and scratched the sh&% out it Looks good and you could add studs to the pad and make it blend in more

Well I actually will probably end up buying 2 studded passenger backrest pads and replace the pass. one now and then fitting one to the rider back rest.

Re:back rest and luggage rack 9 Months, 1 Week ago
It is just a J shaped bracket that goes under the passenger seat and bolts into the bracket for the passenger seat. http://roadstarclinic.com/content/view/34/126/ it is pretty much like that one but mine was made with a nicer chromed bracket.
