Default Adjustable back rest perfect fit

I installed the HD adj. back rest on my RK a few months ago and hated that the lowest vertical setting for the pad was still too high. I took it apart and took it to a wielder i know and had him cut 2" out of the stem and wield it back together. Now its a perfect fit, even looks better with the SG seat too.

I wouldn't/couldn't ride without a rider back rest. I NEVER leave home without it.

Rider back rest is really the best thing. That alone has made the most difference in riding comfort, that I have done so far. I don't even think a better seat would make the comfort difference as the back rest. mo.

Kroozeabout.
