Needing to have both the backrest and the rack space I designed this rack had it built by ([email protected]) and mounted it to the BRP factory backrest. Now my wife is comfy and has space for all her stuff!!:clap:

Pinstriping is actually red and white. Looks good and all that black needed an accent.:thumbup:

Grille

Also added a small grille to the front. Stainless steel with an anodized bezel. Mostly for the looks...and Walmart driving lights below fog lights above with mod brackets $18.95 a pair and a little wiring. Helps on the early morning coastal rydes :2thumbs:

OK, now that I got that out of my system, can you please provide more info on the switches?

I ordered the switches from (eastern beaver company) took a long time and I think they came on a slow boat from china. I see they also have them on ebay in £'s so England. They are the narrowest at 3/4" but you still have to trim the bars cover. Otherwise pretty straight forward.:thumbup:

cool mods

cool mods gene. i love the grill. how'd you make it? how is it attached?

opcorn: i could go for something like that, with some led back lights. nice work:thumbup:

Chupaca · Jan 11, 2013

Coz

Laser cut the mesh from stainless, lasered the bezel from anodized alum and pop riveted to the plastic. No cuts to the plastics to keep air flow to the radiators..the lights sound like a good idea

Park brake extension

I saw this on a post here and the suggestion that it may be weak the way it was done. After a few slips crunching the shin I improved the design by adding a 1" flat bar on the bottom and a filler on the end and welded them together. This way it would slide onto the exsisting lip and bolted them together. Use the stock pad on the end.
