I just ordered mine. Why don't you just run it down. That would save me $10. ;<)

Lonnie tells me that you are a very "friendly" man and i probably wouldn't want to come home.

That happens a lot. But, they normally take everything I own when they do leave.

It fits great and no stiff back after riding! It looks like it was made from stock to fit the Nomad. Great job Lonnie!!!

Ordered mine this past week. Waiting patiently. Have to take the seats off anyway, so I will have the time and no reason not to install it when it comes in.

Got mine yesterday, while I was out of town. Put it on today, took about 15 minutes...don't ask why. Took the bike for a ride with my newly reworked seats, the backrest, the new lowers and new spacers. It was a good ride for sure. True test comes tomorrow on the ride to Daytona!

It was a great ride. Check the general board for pictures of the backrest on the bike. It took a little time to get used to it but it does help. All in all, a good purchase.

Received my drivers backrest from Grasshopper today. Got it installed, but still a little cold for taking it for a test ride. Feels good while just sitting on the Nomad, Looks sharp also. I'm ready to go if it would warm up. I've included a few pic's, Maybe.

Got it in the mail today. Thank you!! Soon as I get out of work, it's going on the bike. Raining at 36 degrees so the test ride will wait. Some day I will figure out the pics.
Thanks again!

The back rest for the 1600 looks like it is too far forward. Other back rests for stock seats seem to be 1-2" further back. Has this been an issue with anyone? I'd like to know before I bought one.

Not at all for me ponch........I was worried about that issue.....it's puts me forward just slightly...I doubt even an inch from my riding position without it

Rode with my new backrest Monday and last night. At first I felt a little forward but it was because I was used to slouching. After 10 minutes I felt great. Wish it had a heater built in (26 degrees) but who cares, I was out on the bike. Thank you again.
