MOTORCYCLE BACKREST/CARRIER


If you want to save a few dollars and make a backrest/carrier for your motorcycle like we did, there is an easier and cheaper way to make one rather than purchase one. Please read all instructions thoroughly before starting!!

THE DIMENSIONS WE USED FOR OUR COVER MAY NOT WORK FOR YOUR APPLICATION!

MATERIAL
The following materials can be used to make a backrest/ carrier.

1: 10” or 12” piece of pipe, length to suit
2: 2 yard of heavy duty vinyl material
3: 2 yards of 1” nylon webbing
4: 6 (each) 1” metal “D” rings
5: 2 (each) plastic backpack style latches
6: 1 yard of 2” wide Velcro [sew on type]
7: 1 foot of 3” wide nylon webbing {for handle}
8: 5” long piece of 3/4” diameter CPVC HOT/COLD PVC pipe {for handle}
9: 2 spools heavy duty upholstery thread
10: 1 foot Heavy duty ½” wide elastic for pocket {optional}
