The Honda backrest seems to sit up too high, I'm not crazy about the look.  And I'd prefer not to get a Corbin seat just for the privilege of buying their backrest.  Are there any other options out there?  My hope is for something that sits low, and is relatively easy to remove.

Thanks,
Steve

I had to make my own.  I couldn't find anything else, and I didn't like the Honda one either.

No interest in making them, but I can give out specs for them.

                                          I dont need a rider back rest for just day rides,
 but like one for trips,,,sooooooo, I got a viking hard trunk,and made my own brackets to attach to the honda rear sissy bar, without the pad, and to the front mounts of the bags, now I can use it as the rider backrest for the trips,works great, no more bungies.  I also made my own rear rack for those longer cross country trips where I might want to take the tent and sleeping bag, or even the small cooler I take sometimes.  I will be at the dragon ride in Sept. in Indiana, will have them on for that ride, trunk and cooler that is.  Hope to meet many more valkyrie riders there.
