Default Air adjustable lumbar support first attempt

Is there a market for this? I made an air adjustable lumbar support for my chopped TP backrest pad. I have the TP mounted in the solo possition and it worked out great except I thought it would be nice with lumbar support. It's inflated manualy with a squeeze bulb and can be deflated so adjustments can be made on the fly. The pictures were taken with my cell phone so the color and quality is not great. Any thoughts?

That's a cool idea. Wish I had thought of it.

i bought the lumbar supported backrest for my limited that is on the CVO's. i thought it looked great but would also be more comfortable for my wife. she loves it. was a good decision but very expensive.

I'm interested - the GF was asking for an inflatable pillow(which I promptly got her) - still amazes me that she can't be comfortable on that back seat, but yes - I would buy that

I'm suprised Harley doesn't have one to compliment their air pillow seat.

This is one of those obviously good ideas.

No one currently makes ones??? What an opportunity!

Can I ask how expensive $ and did you get it locally at your dealer?
