1500 driver backrests are ready
It was a great ride. Check the general board for pictures of the backrest on the bike. It took a little time to get used to it but it does help. All in all, a good purchase.

Received my drivers backrest from Grasshopper today. Got it installed, but still a little cold for taking it for a test ride. Feels good while just sitting on the Nomad, Looks sharp also. I'm ready to go if it would warm up. I've included a few pic's, Maybe.

Got it in the mail today. Thank you!! Soon as I get out of work, it's going on the bike. Raining at 36 degrees so the test ride will wait. Some day I will figure out the pics.
Thanks again! |

The back rest for the 1600 looks like it is too far forward. Other back rests for stock seats seem to be 1-2" further back. Has this been an issue with anyone? I'd like to know before I bought one.

Rode with my new backrest Monday and last night. At first I felt a little forward but it was because I was used to slouching. After 10 minutes I felt great. Wish it had a heater built in (26 degrees) but who cares, I was out on the bike. Thank you again.
