OK, YOU GUY TALKED ME OUT OF THE S3...NOW HELP ME PUT A SISSY BAR ON MY S2 FOR MY KIDS!!! SOMEONE MUST HAVE DONE IT. PS...NEED BAGS...TOUR PACK SET-UP TONY | ||

Check out RKA for some great soft bags,tankbags,and tailbags.Got em all and they work great.BTW,the red S-2 in their catalog is mine.At one time Corbin made a back rest set-up for their S-2 seat so it can be done.And I took a Ventura rack set-up and fabbed mounts for my S-2.Make a good back rest. | ||

>>>SOMEONE MUST HAVE DONE IT. Bruce Zimmerman did it first 9 years ago. Tim makes them and they work wonderfully.  Thanks for asking, Court  | ||

Fireman's right; soft luggage is a great way to go. If you really *want* hard luggage, the factory came out with a kit to be able to fit S3 hard bags onto S2 bikes. If you go that route, ping me! There are a few extra precautions necessary, and a few $$ to save. Not sure about the Corbin back rest. I've been haunting them, but everyone at Corbin I've spoken to denies something like that exists. They didn't start making the Gunfighter & Lady seats with back rests until after the S2 seats were designed - supposedly. Does anyone know how easily the Westek back rest is installed/uninstalled? Will hard bags clear the bracket? Henrik | ||

I just sent an email off to Westek this morning asking exactly that, plus a couple of other questions. I need to make my S2 more passenger friendly so I can start a little project on the M2 (which will make the M2 less passenger friendly  ). I'll post back if and when they reply. If you look at the Corbin backrests you'll see they work with a post hole system. The seat lock location messes this up which is why they don't/won't do a passenger rest for the S2. (I still bug them about it though when I see their trailer at events.  ) | ||

Mike: It's Tim you seek at West-Tek. Court | ||
| Mikej |
Thanks. I sent the email to the email address on their web page. Hopefully it will get to him. Otherwise I'll just call them on Friday afternoon. | ||
| Bluzm2  |
Mike, Let me know what you find out. My S2 would love one of those buggers. How much? | ||
| Mikej |
Will do once I know. Pricing was also one of my questions. Maybe Daves could make us a package deal. | ||
| Jersey_thunder |
I NEED ONE BAD!!!!!!! TONY | ||
| Mikej |
Just called and spoke with Tim. S2 handlebars run around $329.95 Backrest runs around $299 or so. He has handlebars in stock, but he'd have to do a short run for the backrests. If we could get a small order together we could probably get things moving. I'll check back in on Monday. | ||

i'll take a back rest tony | ||
| Court |
By the way....Tim is a Prince of a fellow and all the work I've seen him do is very nice. | ||
| Kevyn  |
The S2 back rest is nice indeed! I am also very interested. | ||

| Jersey_thunder |
NO BIGGY...IF YOU STUMBLE ACROSS IT LET ME KNOW TONY | ||
| Jersey_thunder |
ANY WORD ON THE BACK REST? T SHHH....sorry | ||

Unless Al or Daves wants to place a volume order to get Tim to make a short run of parts then we're on our own. I'm interested, but the price is a bit out of reach for me at the moment so I have to wait a month or four. Click the link above in Court's earlier post and call in an order, and post back with installation pics once you get one if you don't mind - that would be great. I've got an old Sportster backrest I picked up at a rummage sale that I'm thinking of re-fabbing to work somehow, just not sure yet, and since I'm not riding it at the moment there's no hurry. I'm thinking of sneaking some bracing out between the seat and bodywork to support it instead of going around the outside by using flat stock somehow. Just going to take some torch and hammer work on the strapping, just need to dig the big anvil out and find a stump to nail the anvil to. Got the stump all picked out, but the tree is still attached to it, and the felling isn't scheduled until the weather warms up a bit, so again no hurry. Uh, hmmm, meandered a bit, oh yeah the back rest. Call Tim and place an order. |
