    Trying to find a specific Rider/Driver backrest..

    I was browsing Youtube earlier today and came across a video of a person who added some lights where the reflectors are located on the F6B bags. I'm not very interested in the lights..but the driver's backrest caught my attention. Every time I look at my bike, I wonder why there isn't some kind of bolt-on driver's backrest. It looks like this guy has one somehow, and I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find it.
    Thanks!

    There are a few options available, kuryakn, show chrome, utopia to name a few. Check Wingstuff, goldwing online, or you could just get a whole new seat with one.

    I can’t say I’ve ever seen one like what’s in the picture.

    CanAm Spyder has several models that are/were very similar. Maybe the owner modified one of those.

    Yeah I've seen quite a few that require you to modify the stock seat. Or, like you said, I can just get an aftermarket seat that has a backrest on it already. I'll keep looking around. I'm just not sure I want to drop $500-$1000 on a seat that I can't try out before buying.

    I'll look into that! The owner responded to me and said they didn't have any info on it. They found it used on ebay lol

    I've got a stock seat with backrest and an extended rear backrest I can sell you.
