Title: Passenger Backrest - AK55
Post by: JustWait on March 16, 2021, 10:42:20 PM

Does anyone have an aftermarket passenger backrest for the AK550?  I ordered a SHAD. My wife won’t ride without some kind of back rest/support.  From what I could tell the SHAD backrest is only a few inches tall. Hope the wife will be OK with it.  If not, I will be looking for something better.

    The backrest may only be a few inches tall, but it sits up toward the top of the top box. I think you'll find it works OK. The one on my 2012 300 GTI worked great, and now I have the same ordered for my X-Town 300i ABS.
