driver back rest to fit my stock seat?

BEERz · 05-15-2015, 05:47 PM

Got a 2001 nomad 1500 FI. Going on a long ride wext weekend down the blue ridge park way. Been trying to find a driver back rest with no luck. I dont want an entire seat just the back rest to fit my stock seat. Anyone know a good site that has them?

And reasonable, $45 to UK.

I put this one on my bike. I love it! If for any reason you want it out of the way, it literally slides out in a second. Putting it back on is the same. VERY comfortable ride too.

I didn't even know there was a back rest that could fit a stock seat. I could be interested in one.

You won't be sorry you got a backrest, trust me. I've got one and now all I need is a pair of risers to straighten me up a little and I'm good for an all day ride.
