Thanks for not thrashin me about my bicycle seat backrest Tom! HHHAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!! My Chickey biatched about not bein able to lean back so I pooped one out of a Kaw Cruiser backrest with no cushion and a stuffed bicycle seat cover from Wally World. It even has Kawasaki embossed on the back of the aluminum factory frame. I'll improve the cushion, but was a quick fix for a long trip! Rod --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "Tom Hayslett" wrote:
