LeeS Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Anyone come up w/a passenger backrest option yet? I've searched the net and no one seems to make one for the T900GT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 @WKE002 just fitted one to his Tracer, I believe it is a generic one. Looks good. Have a look in the 'what did you do to your tracer' thread , it was very recent, so will be near the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKE002 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Here is a clearer pictures as that day was taken during night, after installation. yet to try it out, tmw weekend will go for ride and have my wife to tag along and get feedback. basically can get any of backseat aftermarket, as long as the holes fit. asto mine, the screw diameter is a bit large, hence i did a little bit of filing the bracket hole larger to fit in the screw. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for ya'll that ride 2-up, as this is a concern for me, how big are you & your riding partner? At 5'10" & 230, my partner being 5'2" and 150, we're kinda bulky. I sold my '11 Ninja 1000 because the 2 of us couldn't comfortably fit. Then I bought a '16 FJR1300 (my current ride) as it's a great 2-up bike. The FJR is a great bike but a bit much to push around when necessary. So now I'm looking at options 2-up options again, the Tracer 900 GT being one of them. Comfort is the most important factor and a backrest is an absolute necessity. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee The passenger seat has a rise on the back part, the usable seating area is 10", total distance from that rise of the seat to the tank is 26". See how much that differs from your FJR. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
