Good job blacking out the backrest and adding the 'patent' bar/shield badge. Keeps the theme of your scoot going while adding a little functional comfort.
Is your scoot lowered? If so, how much and what did you use to lower?
Bike is killer...

thanks.. the bike is lowered. not sure of how much as it had the arleness kit on it already. But used the Hd lowered springs for the front. then dropped the back a little more.It is maybe 2+" than stock height.

Tried one on the wife's Deluxe and she didn't care for it. She was looking for something that would bring her forward a bit and the FH one does just the opposite. Seems leaned back too far and too springy. I put a piece of rubber between it and the grab bar and it did help with the support but she still didn't care for it. It's not adjustable.
Everybody's different so it may be worth a try. If I'm not mistaken FH has a decent return policy if you don't like it.
