Title: Broken Backrest/Luggage Rack Bracket - Help
Post by: Renegade55 on July 13, 2014, 09:21:22 AM
While trying to have a buddy lift the rear of the bike while on it's centerstand so I could pull out the tire (to have it replaced), we broke off the support bracket.  I can't seem to locate a replacement and wondered if anyone had any ideas.  I may have to try to have someone heli-arch weld it or maybe try something else.

I may have to find another trunk w/backrest pad and just remove the OEM backrest.  A new trunk should mount securely to the existing flat luggage rack without needing the OEM backrest still mounted, I think.  Well, after a second look at the mounting area it appears that the broken section is still needed to secure the flat luggage rack also!

I've included a picture and I've added the broken section.  Any help or advice (on the fix, or new trunk) would be greatly appreciated!

Try running a "want to buy" add.  With this many COG members, we have blown up, wadded up or given up on quite a number of bikes.  When my last one was rear ended, I was able to find everything I needed to put it back right here.   I ended up with a bunch of extra parts and I sent them out to others that needed them.
