RE: Vented Backrest?

A company called Air Rider makes cloth covers for some of the popular backrests that are found on Wings. Perhaps they have something that you could use. See them at http://www.airrider.com/store/catego...t=5&cat=20

Be cool!!!

Thought about a sheepskin cover for your backrest? Wicks the moisture away from you and lets a little air in between the fibers.[8D]

Stretcha a pair of your wife's pany hose over it. If it doesn't work, it'll sure make a conversion starter. [sm=laughingsmilie.gif]

Lean forward for a few minutes while riding and the breeze will dry it. Standing on the pegs/floorboards while riding does the same thing for damp rear ends.

I am just glad it is hot enough to sweat which equals great riding weather! If you walk out the door here in MS in the summer you are wet with sweat berore you get on the bike.
