Here is some pic's of the Corbin after market backrest.

Construction seems pretty good. This is large one at 12 x 10. A smaller version is available at 7 x 7.

Think I might send back to trade for the small rest. Don't know if larger one is just "to big"

On my gunfighter and lady seat the bar does not come through all the way allowing me to secure it with supplied bolt. Don't think that will be a problem since will only use when wife is riding with me. Also will avoid having to remove the seat to remove backrest each time.







back is adjustable by loosening the set screw seen on the back.

Personally I'd go with smaller one, but if it's only on when your riding double then maybe the passenger should decide, from a comfort and security standpoint. With the single mounting post does it have good stiffness from wanting to rotate?

should not rotate since the corbin has a square hole and the fit is pretty solid.

I have that seat and backrest. The set screw that holds the back rest keeps backing out even with lock-tight. Corbin sent me some different length screws but didn't help. Then they suggested more lock-tight. Watch the set screw as the backrest will just about fail off after an hour. Be prepared to fix the set screw situation yourself as Corbin knows about it but won't help you. Take Care
