    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am looking to put a backrest on my bike. I want new or NOS. Does anyone have any good tips and tricks for getting something that bolts on or is easily modified to bolt on?
 
Finding a new or NOS unit will be a bear. Another option is to find an old one on e-bay or a bone yard and have it powder coated. I had mine done in the same color as the painted insert on my tank and it looks great. The good part about that is you can get one that looks like hell cheap and for a few bucks it will look like new. Granted it wont be chrome, but leave that to the HD guys.
 
I got a Kuryakyn GranTour Bag , and it makes a nice backrest and a place to carry rain gear, or a gallon of milk on the way home from work. Works great on my GS 750 L with a sissy bar. I don't use the lumbar support they provide. I find it more comfortable without.
