Seat with riders backrest

[steveindenmark]

Does anyone have a seat with a RIDERS backrest?

I have a 2006 FZ6.

I would appreciate their views and photos if possible?

Steve put RIDERS in capitals becoz he wanted one for the RIDER not the passenger, I think ...........

I guess it depends on your point of view. I call myself a "driver" and people in the back riders. :shrug:

Sorry for the misinterpretation. Guess the flying world and bike world don't mix. Hehe.

what you are looking for is a seat cowl, its nothing to lean onto really, but gives some support on take offs and in general when you ride. i dont know how you would have a drivers back rest on a two people seat anyway

Steve, I think you're looking for something similar to this. This is my V-Star that I had before the FZ6. I had a friend fabricate a bracket and bought the backrest pad on Ebay and just slapped it on there. Worked like a charm on the cruiser, but I'm not sure how it would work on an FZ6. Not the least of your problems would be that the FZ6 seat is a one-piece design, so where would you attach the backrest? And, even though the seating position on these bikes is upright, it's not "feet forward" like on a cruiser, so I'm not sure how effective it would be to lean back against. Even with the 1" up and back risers I used to have on mine, a backrest still wouldn't have been a usable piece of equipment. But if you get a good idea of how to do it, post it up! :thumbup:

i know for cruisers that you can get seats that have a "whole" behind the driver where a back rest can be inserted. i would assume the same could be done for "sport" bikes. it'd probably be expensive though.

I was talking about the rider backrest and not the passenger as I have a top box on for Jannie.

I saw Corbin produce this and it is in the FZ6 listing but is obviously not a FZ6 seat.

I used to have a Pro Trac backrest on my Intruder on my Intruder but it fastened onto the suspension brackets which we don`t have on the FZ6.
