V7iii backrests
« on: August 04, 2019, 09:20:54 PM »
Anyone know of a good backrests for the v7iii? Me and my wife are a little bit on the husky side, so we need something to fit our fat fannys.

If you mean something for your bride to rest against as a passenger, we use an HB topcase (with a backrest attachment).

HB top case with back rest here too. Swap it between the V7 and B12 as needed. Pillion reports it's quite good comfort wise.

Some seats for earlier smallblocks don't fit directly on a III unless the extra fuse block is relocated.

Man that blue is beautiful. I like the looks of the Corbin. Is it really a big difference from stock? It looks like it would be.

I have one of those CORBINS , and am a little dissatisfied with the way it slides the driver to the rear and don't leave as much room for your rider .   I've been using a removable 30L rear box with a built-in backrest.   The wife seem to like it just fine , and the box is SO-HANDY !  :grin:

Oooohhhh, did you relocate the abs/TC fuse block? Or check it for interference with the seat?

No I didn't but I did need to add some more rubber bushings now it's perfect but it won't fit my carbon shine
