Default Rocker Backrest. Done.

Just modded my rocker to fit the backrest. I'll have to get my girl on it to see how much of a difference it makes. I sat on the backseat myself and it seems like it would push the passenger forward more with the pad on there, but I guess we'll see.

Shout out to PureDeath for the idea.

Can you show how that is done to the rocker c? I must have missed a post. I throw my original seat on only when my wife rides with me. The backrest is the one thing she wants.

Here's the link to PureDeath's post where I got the idea from. He posted close up pics of it. I didnt use a vice like he did but I'd highly recommend it cause its a bit of a pain to bend by hand and then still hold it in place long enough to bolt in

Great! Thanks for that info. Keep us posted on whether or not your passenger rides too far forward due to that.
Thanks again.

Very nice indeed, Look's much safer. I still prefered the Heartland look!!! although I know it's expensive but looks great.
