Rider backrest modification

First topic message reminder :

I'm a tall bloke and find short/medium runs with the rider backrest pushed fully back to be fine but a recent 250 miler showed that I need more leg space for long runs.

If I remove the backrest I have plenty of room but end up sitting on the slide guides. Any easy ideas for dealing with that?

cheers

pic , maybe........

Has anyone used this modification for the butt to backrest mod:

There are many, many versions of these butt-bumper to backrest modifications and most all are based on a metal bracket/s. This looks to be one of the better systems. My SWing came with a basic pair, but I am modding my seat further and will not be using them, so if you want the brackets, they are yours for the postage.

I use the exact same rest from the same seller. Easy to install (I am not much on fabricating my own) and works fine! Easy to remove if necessary, less than 5 min.

That is so nice of you, Thanks so much! I am waiting for my bike, which should be here Thursday or Friday of next week. I've
got a trade going on for my 1500 Kaw, barring anything major
wrong with them. I know my Kaw is in good shape. I'll get back with you and let you know if I need them. I'm only 5'4" s I
might not need any mods
