S.O.B. Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Good day to all, I am in search of a different backrest on my adventure top case as the OEM on is proving to be uncomfortable for my very patient and understanding rider. Any recommendations? thanks, Dan Link to comment
AnotherLee Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 S.O.B. - Have you considered local upholstry shops (especially auto upholstry)? Might get a custom backrest for a pretty reasonable price. Link to comment
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You could look for a rubber supply or mfr (Valley Rubber?) in your area. Using layers of neoprene at 1 or 2 inches thick, one can carve a backrest out with PSA (peel and stick adhesive) or contact cement. I imagine you can also source rubber sheet from McMaster Carr. At the very least, you can mock up a backrest for someone to make from upholstery. Link to comment
Bernie Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 You could try a different back pad or padding inside the co-riders jacket. Link to comment
S.O.B. Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 thanks to all for your replies! I will consider all of the above. We are ordering the Hit Air Vest (Xmas presents) so she will need to see how the backrest feels with the added vest over her jacket. thanks! Link to comment
