Default Improved Rider Backrest

I love my new rider back rest, I preferred it at the lowest setting but thought it would be better if it was even lower, so I built a lower post to test the theory. I was right, for me anyway, all the way down to the seat supports my lower back better and is just more comfortable. I think I could sell these, that's not an advertisment, so don't lock me out. The high position on my post is about one notch below the low positon on the original post, I also managed to squeeze in an extra pin position.

Talented much? You'll get nothing from me but jealousy...

Great work! Looks cool.
