| | Posted : 24 May 2012 - 20:20 Post title : Damaged sissy bar back rest pad | | | I think I know the answer but I'll ask the question anyway. Is it possible to buy parts of the pad separately, or do I need to shell out £90 to buy a new pad? Whilst riding round the Dent area, with my tent strapped to the sissy bar, a bungee cord put a small hole in the back of the detachable rear section of the pad. It's a tiny hole but it looks huge to me, so I'm going to need to get it fixed.

You can try a vinyl repair kit, I think auto parts stores usually have them. I did this on a Mustang seat I had, it will still show but at least it won't be as bad and will close it up.

They may not be too expensive, might be worth checking out.

Recover the whole lot with a color/design to set you apart. Or check out E-bay. Been a lot of 2nd hand stuff lately...at least US side.
