    Does anyone of you have a backrest how it does look like when you remove the backrest? I am wondering about the attachment for the backrest and it's bolts. TIA!
    Always a good and safe ride,

    I'm also curious. Does anyone have a photo of a deluxe with the backrest removed? I really don't care for the way the backrest looks and I won't need a passenger backrest until my son is old enough to ride with me. If my deluxe wasn't still in the crate, I'd check it out for myself. If it is too ugly, I'll probably buy a rack to cover up the holes or get the non-deluxe parts to clean up the look.

    53Driver, the smuggler looks great. With the loss of the handrails, what's your trick on placing your B on the center stand?

    I have a Standard B and decided to upgrade with separately purchased OEM backrest . Also I've changed the seat , buying Mustang . It doesn't work for me , so I'll go for Ultimate . Selling both : Mustang Tripper Fastback seat and complete OEM backrest with main bracket ( without plates ). If interested , please contact limoles@comcast.net

    Looks like a side stand plate tether. I can see someone just taking off and leaving the plate behind, arriving at their next destination and looking for it and then it hits them SH!T . Just my guess.
