(New!) Topic : Solo Backrest & Luggage Rack  Author  Post     Bionicmunky  Set Reg. Date  :  11/06/2011 Posts  :  104 Location  :  High Wycombe, United Kingdom Posted : 15 May 2012 - 11:33   Post title : Solo Backrest & Luggage Rack   Hi All, Just had this delivered from triumph-online.co.uk Will get n the bike and follow up with a review in the next couple of days. Quality is top notch although would have preferred nicer bolts. This will hopefully make my daily 25 mile (each way) commute into Londinium a bit more comfy Cheers, John   09/10 Black 'Bird 1600 - BC Predators, Free flow air filter, T Bars, lots of chrome.  Author  Post     Tilinghetuna  Set Reg.

The only thing I've found is I cant reach the handlebars and have my back on the rest at the same time, hence my post about moving the handlebars closer. You'll have to let me know how you get on with it. One additional point it is very very difficult (nigh on impossible) to remove the seat whilst this is in position.   ---------------—------------------------------------ Tilinghetuna = Settlement of Tir's people  Author  Post     Bionicmunky  Set Reg.

Seat on and off ok - but I am running the standard seat, can imagine the longhaul would be a pain in ****!   09/10 Black 'Bird 1600 - BC Predators, Free flow air filter, T Bars, lots of chrome.  Author  Post     Tilinghetuna  Set Reg.

Yes, I have the long haul solo seat which is a pain in the you know what. Dependant on how I get on with the stock bars I'll have to consider the beach bars to get an A1 setup.

Powder puffing wheels or something.  Author  Post     mat1600  Thunderbird Reg.
