Took the Short Backrest, reversed it (reducing the angle to 45 degrees, put a 22 1/2 degree pie slice in each side, bent it flat and had my Buddy (a Pro Welder) turn it into a work of Art...Four Conduit Clips and I'm ready for the Tour Pak...Tada!!! 4/18 added pic of Tour Pak Mounted w/2 High Mount Brake Lites that Flash constantly when Brakes are applied!<br />

Kool,, Are you going to re-chrome the back rest or power coat it to keep from rusting where it was welded. Light is a good touch also.

 

[Doc]

Haven't decided yet...still doing the Fitting of the Tour Pak. Not many Good Re-Chromers here in NJ and the one I know of takes forever, so Powder may be the way to go, especially for a Part that will be hidden.<br />
