• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Ryker backrest

I posted this previously but it works great for me - neighbor sewed a pad encased in waterproof material and it is attached with Velcro - in the Florida heat the Velcro melted a bit so I had her attach a couple of straps that fit inside the top case cover and when pulled tight the pad stays well in place.

Picture attached but it will probably be upside down as I have not figured out the IT skill needed so far! Backrest2.jpg
 
I have a 75 year old back rest but she won't ride with me all the time. Can't do Sport mode with her anyway.

Here's what I did for a back rest. I bought a back rest pad from E-bay for $23 and made my own bracket to attach it to. Works great and cost was cheap! I also changed the top case to a lockable EMGO for $70. A 3/4 helmet will fit in it. Also cheap! Works great!

Will your driver backrest work with passenger seat? If so, please provide more details as this is what a lot of us are looking for.
 
This won't work "bolt on" if you have the Rally though due to the splash guard. You will either have to take the splashguard off or cut a major hole in it. I actually ordered this as soon as it went live and will be returning it since I didn't want to modify the splashguard. I really appreciate slingmods's efforts to make aftermarket parts, but they should have disclosed this in the video and product page.

I have the driver and passenger comfort seats as well. It would work with the driver comfort seat, but the backrest would be very tight with the passenger comfort seat since it is shaped differently than the normal passenger seat.
 
I'll modify my splashguard. Its a lot easier to do that instead of waiting for someone to come up with one that works across all of them .
 
It also does not work if you have the BRP saddle bag mounted. The Slingmods backrest uses the same holes for mounting. I am returning mine also.
