joboo Posted March 30, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 30, 2012 OK guys, no laughing but a little serious help. The wife wants the backrest she sees on the grandpa bikes aka the Venture package. I am considering adding a DMY trunk with backrest which brings us a few problems, namely no rack on which to mount one. The RSTC only has a sissy bar rack that is tilted at the end and really doesn't do it for me. My idea is to get the longer sissy bar (the round one that is a stock accessory) and have it bent. Don't care if it messes up the bar as it won't show anyway, if I have to add a flat piece of stock no big deal, but I think it will make a pretty solid platform. No crap about getting the real ride as I have had this bike for 17 years and since it is virtually the same machine I don't need the intercom or the CB or the big out front fairing. I like it the way it is but gotta please the little woman, as I have kept her a tad longer than the bike. (29 yrs) I know I am asking for it...so go for it!

joboo Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted March 30, 2012 Thanks for the post Warrior/Honeybee! That is on an RSTD and they don't have the problem I do with the rack. They also have hard saddlebags with a different mount. Star did a nice job on that bike. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoneman1981 Posted March 30, 2012 Share #6 Posted March 30, 2012 Hello: I sent you a PM with a few suggestions. If you find a rack then the rest should be a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
