Default Found my saveing grace, drivers rest.

I stumbled apon this place called fast eddys sports,HES THE DISTRIBUTER IN THE US. The rests are made by protac.net(thats where youll find many pictures and thats where your better off ordering it,(i forgot i ordered it from them direct, but the payment went to eddy if i remember correctly) but ask questions to them or eddy for your exact fitment needs They do say they can make them for any configuration you might have) they have custom made drivers rests, made to order, you give the details, type seat, bags or not, your height, what position you ride, ect. In about 2 weeks you got yourself a great rest for $138 that includes shipping! Such a major difference for me since ive had 8 failed back surgeries rangeing from my nect, middls and lower back that have made it a must i have a drivers rest. Man i cant say enough good things about this inexpensive custom built rest. They make em for all models too.

Now alls i need is to reduce my reach so my arms arnt numb in 10 minutes of rideing and im set! That and the x14iED's so the dayum bike runs right.

It probably wouldn't work for my applications. I have detachable side plates and detachable saddlebags.

Edit, i ordered from Protac.net if i remember correctly, eddy is the distributer in the US.They ask you about all that, the hardware is made to order. You can also tell eddy before ordering what you have and all that. I was asked if i had a pass backrest and bags and mounts. They make it work.Where the center hole is on my bikes rear upper strut is where the hardware attached. Actually all those questions were asked of me in a section but i forgot to answer them. I noticed the section after i ordered mine. I emaild eddy and told him the info, and also included my height, type of seat, my riding position, ect and he took the info and passed it onto the guy who makes them.

I think but not sure if the bags and brackets was a question in ordering. I did have to tell him this, either i noticed the questions in my reciept, or i answered those in the order form.

Hope that helps, you can email him asap and he will answer fast.
