The nuts don't need to be welded on, I just like to tinker. Pm'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunzio Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Here is the Backrest I made for the wife. Made from .135” hot rolled steel I designed it on my computer and a friend cut it out on a later cutter. The I founda backrest off Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GFXTRF7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_YWDFGJEFDGY0V0A6BSVG Edited August 20, 2021 by Nunzio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardrivn Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Good news bad news, this cheap Amazon backrest fits great and is below $20, bad news mine had no padding as pictured. I wrote a review with photos, if anyone in PA wants to pick it up for their bike after ordering this I was able to find a rack that I could mount my Givi. plate to giving me a trunk with a backrest.
