Buying a 2014 Spyder ST Ltd - Looking for Passenger Backrest - any ideas?

[Chahn]

We're buying a 2014 Spyder St Limited and I can't find a passenger Backrest.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

:agree: Rider's backrest when you're riding solo; Pillion backrest for when you're riding 2-up & can use your passenger as a backrest! :thumbup:

AND, it's pretty easy to fit; IIRC there's no need to actually take anything aside from a few screws off your ST in order to fit the backrest, then just put them back in place to hold it on! hyea:

Thanks for the replies. I found a stock backrest on Amazon

Sorry that rest only fits the rear sports rack that fits up to 2013’s not the '14 opcorn:

You would need to have the Sport Rack installed on your Spyder ST - and the picture you have posted does not include it. This backrest mounts directly to the rack. It will not do you any good if you can't source the rack itself. I'm not aware of any changes of substance that would preclude the rack from being installed on the '14 vs. the '13 - so I'm curious why the list says only to '13 - but either way - without the rack - this won't do you any good.

I watched a couple videos on UTube on how to install. And it really went pretty easy. I was lucky to purchase the Sport Rack new in the box as well as the backrest. I've got about $420.00 in both.
While I had the bike on the lift I changed the oil and filters plus the air filter.
Also installed LED bulbs in taillight, turn signals and head light. I found a pair of 2022 wheels and installed them.
