Simple rocker c backrest mod!!
I know that someone has already used the "regular" rocker back rest and bolted it to the passanger platform of the rocker c. I took it a step further and just bolted the "regular" rocker back rest directly to the passanger pad itself. There is metal underneath the plastic cover on the bottom side of the pad. I just drilled and tapped 4 1/4-20 holes and bolted it down with socket head cap screws. You will notice that there is a black solid metal bar with two 5/16-18 bolts in it that runs the width of the sissy bar. I did this as a safety precaution because I feel better knowing that my girfriend can lean back SAFELY without anything breaking. You will also see two white strips of tape located on the underside of the sissy bar, this is to prevent everything from getting scratched up when the seat is mounted.This makes it much easier to take the seat on and off without having to undo 4 bolts everytime I want it off. The only down side to this is that the seat will sit slightly forward because of the sissy bar going underneath the pad. I'm currently working on risers that bring the seat back up to a level position. This back rest doesn't make the bike look horrible like some of the other designs I have seen. The seat no longer latches in the back either, which in my opinion, doesn't matter because when the passenger is sitting on it it's not going to magically lift off the platform
To buy this, all I did was going on ebay and buy the "regular" rocker sissy bar and pad. Ran about 120 bucks total
Sorry about the small pictures....these were taken with my old *** phone. Any questions let me know

rocker c back rest
Here are a couple more picts i got from the fabricator. the good thing about this is it sits high and back the way a quick detacth fits on a road king. he spec'd it to his bike. its only 4 bolts to remove it and we used 1/4 in steel so its safe. my wife road 128 miles on it and loves it. jchristian@charterinternet.com for more info [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
