Nice mod!! Way to use what's there for something useful. I just don't like the seat so far off the fender. (Not your doing, I know) But that's just me. I would like the backrest more if I had to choose.

Well that's usin your noggin. Not very attractive from the backside but very functional. If you are in need of back support sometimes functional supersedes the look.
