passanger backrest too far forward!
passanger backrest too far forward!
Got wife a new backrest, went from the standard to the tall. Also got the extra wide pad. Now problem is it has pushed her forward. There is almst no room between us now. She likes the pad and the height but would like to be back a little farther. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to help with this. THANKS

Sissy bar
Look on Ebay for an adjustable siisy bar. Put one on my RG, The wife loves it. It adjusts back about 2-3 inches. And the best part is it didnt cost $700 like the HD model that stands straight up. $200 was the cost. I cant remember the manufacture. Sorry.

We no longer need these, and can be yours if you'd like.
I can email / post a couple pics if you'd like.
