Default Home-made passenger back rest

I would have posted this in the "Under $50 bucks", but I bought the mounting
brackets from my local HD dealer.
They alone were around $60.
The rest of this was around $20 and an old back pad that I had laying around.
I bought a sold steel bar from Home depot.
Heated and bent it in my vice.



Welded the cross bar from a flat scrap of steel.



Gave it a coat of paint( just to cover it till I paint the hole bike later this year)



Ground down the sides so it would fit in the square holes and drilled the bolt holes.

Nice job. If you are going to paint it the same color of the bike go to your local auto paint supply and have them put your color in a spray bomb.
