Thanks fellas. Yeah, it does have the hole for a backrest....I just haven't been able to muster the gumption to pony up $200 plus for a backrest....ROBBERY!!!!



Just an idea... after seeing the ingenuity on this site for making rider's backrests from a chunk of flat steel and a used backrest, I've been tempted to make a more compact backrest for my Corbin, maybe just a few inches tall to support my lower back. All it should take is a piece of square stock that fits in the "receiver" built in the Corbin seat, a flat plate bolted or welded to that square stock for mounting the backrest to. Might try to fab something up this winter.

Even if you have to pay someone to weld up the two bits you should be able to get'er done for $50 or so. The Corbin backrest also has a set screw to secure the backrest so it can't be removed without taking the seat off, but I don't often use that set screw. But if you wanted to use that it's one hole to drill and tap.
