Cut 2 " height off my 52900-09A riders backrest on my 13 Street and now the height is about right for me. Fits more in the lumbar area. May take another 1/2" off for fine tuning. Now I would like to soften up the contact area. Are there any slip on pads available that anyone knows about? Heading for Sturgis shortly and don't have time to take it to an upholstery shop for softer padding.

 

Mean City Cycles is doing back rest modifications now..I plan on getting mine done in August when I'm up that way....

 

If you cant get it done by the time you leave, maybe there is a chance to get it done in Sturgis. Go online and see what venders may be there for your time frame. Good luck.

 

I always thought there would be a market for a slip on heated backrest cover,
or the option to convert your own backrest to heated.
I have a heated seat, and love it, with my bad back, a heated backrest would be great!

 

Think I'll look into some automotive places. May have some kind of pad for car headrest or armrest.

 

Now thats not a bad idea
