Passenger Back rest? - Ducati.ms

Rango · Jul 19th, 2011, 3:43 pm

Anybody running something like this? I need just a little something so I know My daughter won't slide off the back!

Thought about running the bolt on parcel shelf then putting the bag they make for it on....

Hunted online for a picture on one ON a bike. They have pic's of just the braket but nothing mounted up.

Any ideas?

Don't see any pics with your post and not aware of any backrests but there are a few variations of children's belts/harnesses designed for this purpose. For example: Child Riding Belts Product Information Page

If your daughter is much older, there are more straightforward belts that attach her to you. As for the safety of being attached, I'll leave that up to the rider/consumer.

Sorry, let me try to explain it better.

I'm talking about the Ducati rear luggage rack:
Rear luggage rack - Ducati Hypermotard Accessories

With the Ducati soft bag for rear luggage rack:
Soft bag for luggage rack - Ducati Hypermotard Accessories

Nothing radical here, those are both OEM parts.

I sort of thought people might pipe up with aftermarket solutions for a backrest.

You ever come up with a decent solution? Since my wife just had her first short ride with me I've been thinking about this same concept. Thinking about doing something like this (with the smaller Givi E260): Givi top case on HM, ain't purdy but...

That one you linked to is as good as I've seen.

If it was just me, I'd use a backpack and be done but with somebody else the backpack just makes things more cramped for the passanger.

The look of the softbag was a little better to me but the that hard one is likely more useful.

With the factory attach points already there I'm surprised somebody isn't making one. Do a quick detach like the back rests on most Harleys... But this is kind of the "Anti-Harley" so make theres not enough market?

Ya, I always do the backpack thing but in trying to get my wife to go with me on day trips I'm gonna need not only a little capacity but also some security for her as she's a little risk averse

Now looking at the Givi E230 with a small back pad on it.

And yes, stuff like this for naked bikes isn't the market most people would want to get into bc they probably couldn't do enough volume. I'm sure you could manage to get one of those detachable backrests to work yourself but you'd need to buy 10 different types and try 'em all first and probably destroy 'em in the process.

Think twice about the back pad on the luggage. When we rode two-up, my wife preferred to rely on the spine protector in her jacket. An extra pad on the Givi would have pushed her too far forward.

Wow, thanks, you probably just saved me a good $50.

Works well enough that my wife will ride on the back of the Hyper - she can't stand not having something behind her, always feels like she's going to slide off (I know, she's strange).

For an actual backrest, check and see if Corbin makes a Hyper seat. Had one with the backrest on my ZRX and it worked great.
