Cary, The difference between a rider and passenger is pretty clear if you think about it. The driver is always holding onto the handle bars, so if the backrest breaks it probably won't cause any major problems since he is held in place with his hands already grasping something. The driver is...

There is one main reason you do not see adjustable passenger backrest from the main seat makers like Mustang and Corbin. PRODUCT LIABILITY. They make driver's backrest that are adjustable but not passengers. While I agree it would be nice to have such backrest, I won't be putting my neck on...

I have posted new pictures of my rack with the backrest attached. This is a prototype backrest and I'm thinking of shortening the height of the backrest by another 1-1/2" and leaning it back by another 4 degrees so the passenger can lean back a little more. The passenger does lean back the way...

I was thinking about attending one of these classes. When are you thinking of going?

1. Self cancelling turn signals 2. Crusie control 3. Helmet locks Thats about it for me!

Thor, I still have a couple from the first batch that are not sold. They will be completed later this week and you can ride up and pick one up if you'd like. Let me know if you want one and I'll put your name on one.

Well thats 2, anybody else want a rack just big enough to fit on a Givi plate?

It is possible, but it would probably be very expensive to make one plate that way. I'm guessing design time and fabricating cost for a single unit would be about $250.00 at a minimum because my fabricator charges me $150.00 just to cut the aluminum plate for a prototype. It still needs the...

I should be picking up the prototype backrest the first of the week and hopefully have pics up midweek.

I have designed a rack that accepts the Givi v46 Monokey Box, but you need to use the Givi E250 Universal Adapter plate. It will also hold the universal Plate for the MonoLock boxes. There are two different box postions settings available to adjust for rider comfort. (lean angle) The Givi...

+1 Comfort is number one, price is number 2, but the seat looks cool. Do you mind sharing the price and how long it took to get it turned around?

I too have nothing against the trucking industry and I realize the importance the trucking industry plays in keeping our economy hummimg. I also have great respect for the people that drive the big rigs as I know it is not an easy life. But saying large rigs have to be on those roads is not...

Yea Mamba, give Galaxy a break, if you where in his shoes you know you won't be hurt if a bike ran into your rig. So as a true "Professional" truckdriver you'd be more then happy to risk other people's lives so you could save a few bucks. :angry: Galaxy I think calling yourself a...

Are you freaking kidding me? Are you trying to pass this off as justification!! I'm not saying cars, pickups and even the crazy biker doesn't cross the line once in a while, but at least their vechicle's length will allow them to stay on their side of the road in most cases. I have been on...

Put me in for two

Most truckers try to balance the shortest route with the easiest route. Trust me, I bet there's not many truck drivers that like to take "The Dragon", but if it saves them 50 miles, they almost have to. At 6mpg and $3 per gallon, trucking gets expensive real quick. So, give truckers a break...

Welcome Roadhazard, congrats on the new purchase. I hope your planning on attending EOM in Sept.

I completed my first oil change last week on my 06. I tried the strap type oil filter wrench and several other types, with no luck. I then discovered that the FJR oil filter is the same OD diameter as a Goldwing 1800. Luckily I just happen to have an oil wrench for the GL1800 (since I own a...
