About a 4" rise from the top of the azz cheek to the lumbar. The stock looks aggressive but this riser makes your passenger 100% more confident and comfortable. The butt chock is one of the few OEM deficiencies I see. Well worth the price and the quality is top notch.

Thanks all...just got into a huge pissing contest with the machine shop over their tolerances on product . Not pretty. Oh well. they are making 4 as we speak, then to the power coater. One is promised already. So three left. When these three are gone I will have to do some soul searching as to wether to continue with making them. But We'll see. If members of this board want the last three I will not post of Ebay unless it is easier for you... So there you go three left, who gets them?

Sorry Bill, I was not aware there was a problem with the last batch until my phone started ringing off the hook and bad marks from Ebay!!! If your good I will just move on.

As a new member … perhaps you should lead by example and exercise some class, courtesy and PATIENCE. Just Saying :banghead: :hitfan:
There are reasons why Steve0080 is a MODERATOR and all contrary to your commentary.

Be more respectful and patient, this board rarely has any issues. 99.99% of the members take care of each other and honor their words.

I was more than happy to assume that the member was busy or away from the forum and that why he hadn't responded. I only made a comment when I saw he had posted in the forums after I had made inquiries so it was a fair assumption on my part that he was not away from the forums.
Assumptions go both ways gentlemen, I don't presume to know any of you, it wouldn't be the first time I asked somebody something and they couldn't be bothered to respond.
Don't presume you know me and make assumptions of my class or exercise of courtesy.
Apparently there are a couple people doing the exact thing Im being chided about not doing.
All I did was say what I try to do when I'm selling a product or service, which is treat people the way I like to be treated. No harm no foul.

Okay, okay, okay, back to business here - I have located a brand new riser (purchased from Steve 0080 awhile back) in my inventory, never installed, and I shan't be needing it.

Anyone who would like to negotiate, please send me a PM.

New to the forum and just rode the new bike from VA to Florida. I am hoping to make the first purchase one of those risers. If anyone knows of one that is available, please let me know. If Steve has one in Sanford, Fl still, I can pick it up. Great info on this forum, by the way.

Steve are you still in the business of making these passenger backrest risers for the F6? I put one on my F6 and traded the F6 last fall to a big Honda dealer in NH. The owner of the dealership just called me looking to by a few for himself and the shop.

Let me know, thanks.

When I first bought this bike I thought the backrest looked low. I have a Givi 46 topbox that I have used on my last 4 motorcycles so I ordered the rack from Twisted Throttle and installed it recently. Wife has leaned up against it years without a complaint. Can’t use the Givi and backrest the same time. Finally took my passenger out for her first ride on it today with backrest and we didn’t get 2 miles into our 160 mile trip and she was already complaining about the backrest height. Dug way into this accessories thread and found this one. Steve, do you still make these or know anywhere I can find an extension?

Ultimate Seats out of Florida makes one for around $45.

Storm Lake Honda in Iowa makes an adjustable one for around $160.

If you look through the threads, another mbr explains how to make your own using some 1/8" plate steel. It wouldn't be that difficult if a person had the time. Remove the cover on the back of the rest, take some measurements, and drill for the new plate.

Here's the one I made from a piece of steel from Home Depot. You can make it any length you want for optimal back position for your passenger. I finished it off spraying it with matte black Flex Seal. Took a couple of hours at a slow pace and total cost was about $20 or so.

Thanks for posting up Walcrow, didn’t have to dig for hours finding this. This is interesting. She was telling me it only needed to be a couple inches higher but looking at yours I see if I added a plate and lowered the holes I’m thinking it may be too thick to get the back half of backrest snapped and bolted back together so I may do it like yours.

Walcrow
01-06-2018, 06:17 PM
Tabasco.........

I had my GF sit on the seat before I made the final cut on the steel. She wanted it higher than 2 inches. I THINK I made it almost 4 inches but can check tonight if you need me to. Post a reply and I'll get back on here later tonight. This one hits her more in the middle back than the kidney area. She likes way more than the stock height.......which is more like a butt rest than a back rest.
