    Default Aftermarket backrest (passenger)

    Does anybody make one?
    I just looked at the BRP accesory page and it would cost close to $700 to get theirs ..... Holy rip batman!
    I will be building one if no one else already does.
    I was thinking that a comfort seat with with a GIVI trunk or something has to be a better buy..

    Kewlmetal, Roadkrome, and Corbin have options available for passenger backrests.

    The GIVI trunk with a backrest pad probably is one of the best buys. I almost bought the BRP backrest, but felt that it was too much. I paid $1K for my heated Corbin seats and one backrest as compared to $750 for just the BRP rack and backrest.

    Here's mine from Mel's Monster Garage. I like that it's easily removable.

    I like that seat back. I don't like the way the sport rack looks, but I've got it already. I prefer the stock "drop tail".

    Did you add some more speakers?

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    I changed the sound system to a 4 speaker system with a 160w marine amp and XM/AM/FM/iPod marine controller.

    Wow this forum is great! I can't wait to get a Spyder. Have posted both bikes on for sale area and on craigslist. Really just need to sell one of them to move forward.

    Wifey will need a backrest and the monster garage one looks great.
    I also really like the arm rests. Where did those come from??

    I want the wifey to feel secure and I know this thing puts laterel Gforce on the riders unlike a motorcycle.
    I am trying real hard to get her back on the back.

    I know, ride slow and be nice. I really do already do that when she is on the back.

    So someone .....please buy one of my bikes I'll buy one of yours! (seems fair to me)
