RockerC - is that the Rocker seat in your pics.... not Rocker C seat.... just double checking - thanks!

 

His second picture, it's not the Rocker seat, but it is the strut/pillion kit.
It does look like the pillion was made to act as a backrest.

 

My seat is made by JeffreyPhippsout of Florida, www.jeffreyphipps.com

 

Ok cool - but you do have the Harley strut, rack, and passenger pillon right?
That looks like it would work.

 

Yes I do and it works good as a back rest. Also all the girls that have ridden on the pillion have said it was comfortable.

 

I have the standard Rocker with the struts and the pillion seat. It could work as a backrest IMO if you're a bit taller than me (I'm 5'7"). I sit a little up on the seat to reach the forward controls so I'm missing the front edge of the pillion pad by a couple of inches unless I really lean back. I really just use the strut system for the luggage rack and I put the pillion seat on if I want to carry a sissy bar bag. Just like Rocker C's smaller picture.

 

Nferr - are you using the stock bars? Hubby's about 5' 10" and we're installing mini apes so I'm hoping that will sit him back some.

 

Yeah, I use the stock bars. I like the stock bars, but I do lean forward just a bit which I prefer because it's relieves any back strain for me. At 5' 10" he probably will be able to use the pillion as a backrest. Of course it all depends on inseam, arm length, bars, etc.

 

Awesome feedback - thanks guys!
