i've made my own on a number of bikes. as long as you have a two piece seat, they are very easy and cheap to make. this one cost less than 20 bucks. bought
the cushion part off ebay for 10 bucks, went to the hardware store and bought a piece of 1/8"x1 1/2" strap iron(then cut it into two equal
lengths)and starting bending it 'til i got the pattern i wanted. on the suzuki lc, i used the bolt holes that hold the front of the passenger pillion, bent
the metal back, then up, and bolted the end to the back of the backrest. with the 1/8" strap, you get a little flex, which i like, as it moves with you
when you hit a bump instead of being so solid and giving you a "jolt" to the back. i also built one of these for Halfbreed, the bike i bought from
lou. it was an 1100 spirit, so sure this would work on the tourer too. bud

Here's a new one already made to fit. If the auction ends, then don't worry. He runs these regularly one at a time. If you contact him via his ebay
store, he will re list one for you. $89.95 and good folks to deal with.
