Freebird Posted July 14, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2008 I've often seen people here who are looking for driver's backrests for the first generation Ventures. Markland used to make one but of course it is no longer in production. They do come up on Ebay from time to time but usually bring top dollar. I was wondering how many people know that Utopia still makes a backrest for the first gen. At least for the '86-'93 I think. It requires a bit of work to install but really doesn't look that difficult. http://www.utpr.com/venture.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Posted July 14, 2008 Share #4 Posted July 14, 2008 I didn't know that....... I did, as I bought the one Sarges46, had for his 1st gen (in March). I need to get some stiching on the seat done, before installing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyHorse Posted July 14, 2008 Share #6 Posted July 14, 2008 Looks better then the Markland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kandaje Posted July 15, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 15, 2008 Greetings... Looks better then the Markland. Agreed! It does look sweet! - it's still top-shelf $-wise - About $200 - That buys a LOT of beer. I find that 2 -12 packs of Fosters Cans inside a padded cooler bag, Cargo netted on the back seat performs a similar function. - That IS a recuring cost anyway, but I get a tweak of enjoyment - squeezing every ounce of performance out of my beer...
