In need to a RIDERS backrest. Help needed... - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Intruder007 · 09-25-2008, 11:17 PM

with the weather looking and feeling better everyday, im riding the bike basically 100% of the time. But on prolonged rides, my lower back tends to hurt. Especially with my legs on the highway pegs.

i've been searching around the web for a backrest but all i can find are backrests for the passenger. Do any of ya'll know where i can find one for MY damn back?

Thanks,
William

Does your bike have a passenger back rest or sissy bar. If so, might want to look into a Lazy Rider Biker Village - Lazy Rider Shop. Not only can you store your belongings inside but doubles aws a drivers back rest. Has a detachable lumbar support and back pad. I don't go any where with out mine.

Hey,
Just read the question. I have a 2005 C50 and I went through the agony of a sore back. I drive in and around Los Angeles and the freeways are horrible. I did two things - I changed out my stock risers for Aeromach 2" chrome risers to bring the handlebars closer (up 2" and and back 1 1/2" - without having to change cables) and I bought a new seat. It's a Mustang dual touring seat with driver backrest...best $$ I've spent on the bike yet. I can drive for hours without my back hurting and my butt feels better too. No more iron butt. Good luck - Mato
