I hate a backrest on a bike! But, like most, my passenger (wife) won't get on without one, Soooo...
I wanted a quick disconnect, and was going to get one for a Harley, when I came across the "Plug-n-play" type. Seemed like a good, cheap way to go. I didn't want to drill holes in my fender, but what choice did I have?
Well, I found a purpose for that "owners mannual storage" thing on the back of the passenger pillion seat.
I pluged the "Plug-n-play" backrest bracket right into the slot, put a pop rivet into the front area of it through the seat pan, and made washer shims and bolted the back area, as shown in the picture. It works great, is totally secure, and disconnects WITH the pillion seat! How great is that? Cheap, convinient, small, stays with passenger seat, the list goes on. I've used this for 2 years now, and just love it. The only thing I need is a bigger backrest "pad".
Just thought I'd pass it on.
