Has anyone seen or fabricated a pillion backrest for the 1300? I have in mind, to fabricate a pillion backrest, to be used if the top-box is not fitted, and which attaches using the top-box mounting plate. :thumbsup

Hi Stinky Pete,
What kind of seat are you using???
On both of my Corbins they have a dedicated hole for a pillion back rest, but not for the rider.

We have the OEM ST1300 two part seat. The "Dearly Beloved" likes the security of the backrest on the top-box and I'm considering fabricating something that will affix to the top-box mount and be readily removable. A bit of steel, a bit of powdercoat, and some black upholstery, and it should be done.

Topbox has to be apart of our bike now as my vanity mirror is in the lid :nahnah
But I'm with your lovely wife, I need the security of the backrest, never been on a roadbike without one.

I know why you're keen on the back stop, Jean.
I have a daughter who sat on her butt and bruised her pride when I wheelied a Postie bike many years ago.
Yes, you doubters, they do wheelie! :p

:-++ Backrest or not wouldn't have changed a thing :p but let's not forget I did have a friend laying there laughing along side me looking up at the clouds. :whistle
Pockey :wink1

So does that mean he is still a friend after leaving you on the ground? :crackup
-
Well he did help me up before his bike so I guess he is a REAL friend.
I would find it hard to ride without a back rest even on real short rides. I guess it is my security
blanky.
Pockey. :grin

Thanks Pockey,
I'm only a "he", after our roll on the grass together, in the sun (behind your husbands back :o )
Anyway, Pockey how did the back rest on the Givi feel for the pillion, for that massive 2 km's, since you were my first (insert blushing emoticon)

LOL :p :Blow With your back rest I found it quite flat and although it sits out off the box some way it only supported a very small area of my back as it doesn't wrap around like the one on our bike with the arm rests, but thanks for the cuddle anyway. :crackup
So Pete if your making a back rest thingy consider having it shaped for some wrap around support for your wife.
Pockey :grin
