Looking for rider backrest for Gen. 2-3 FJR

[philter]

A long time ago, I was at a flea market and found a great deal on a "chop saw"

that I desperately needed to build a deck on my house. I was on my FJR, and the

only place to put it was on the passenger seat, and the ARM of the thing

nestled right in the middle of my lower back. I was 35 miles from home, and

thought that this was going to be the most miserable ride ever. About halfway

home I thought, "man, this is GREAT", so I bought a cheap "passenger backrest"

off Ebay, removed the passenger seat, and "rigged" it up so it would

support my back. I LOVED it, but the wife was NOT happy that she could not ride

anymore and it was SO UGLY. So I removed it and have been searching for a riders

backrest ever since. When one comes availabe, {only a couple of times} I was always

broke, so I don't have one. If anyone hears of, or has one, that is inexpensive,

please let me know. Thank you, Phil

Ps. YES, I know the FJR is a Sport Touring bike and I am really ODD for putting a

riders backrest on it. YES, I know that with the FJR's riding position, my back

will not be able to touch the backrest. AND YES, I know I will not be able to drag

a knee with the backrest on my FJR. {actually, the Russel Day Long seat with the

velour material, has already addressed that situation}.
