There were several aftermarket manufacturers of back rests for the First Gen. The various manufacturers each had a unique way of mounting. One must first determine the manufacturer of your backrest. Pictures would be good.

it's an oem backrest, to the best of my knowledge

It is a VentureLine backrest, an official Yamaha accessory, although not a factory option (OEM).

Currently there are just two brackets (one pair) for the VentureLine backrest on eBay.

87 Yamaha XVZ13 Bracket C | eBay

87 Yamaha XVZ13 Bracket B | eBay

Seems the seller is plenty proud of them. Perhaps with combined shipping you could save ten bucks.

FYI: Here is the part number for the backrest brackets:ABA-1NLCD-04-40

Thank-you, I don't know how you found those I have been scouring the net for days trying to find brackets, seem to be rarer than frog hair !

Hey Rip,

The Ventureline Backrest will fit all of the Ventures from 1986 to 1993. (MKII) The Ventureline backrest for the MKI (1983 to 1985) bikes has different mounting brackets.
