Title: Passenger Backrest -- Hondaline, Jardine, Cobra, or ???
Post by: Sledge Hammer on September 08, 2008, 11:11:53 PM
Since many of you have passenger backrests on your 3G Magnas, do any of you have strong opinions in favor or against Hondaline's, Jardine's, or Cobra's? Is there one that has a track record of being able to take more stress without cracking, or is it simply a matter of whichever looks best to the rider and/or is cheapest?

Also, does anyone have any experience with the Protac driver's backrest for 3G Magnas? My Corbin Gunfighter will not accept any Corbin backrest and Corbin have refused even to entertain the notion of modifying the saddle so it can. Short of going back to the uncomfortable and unappealing stock seat, the Protac looks like the only game in town for a driver's backrest compatible with my Gunfighter saddle, although Protac warn me that their backrest is not compatible with Leatherlykes.

Thanks in advance!
