Custom metal fab for crude-but-functional backrest/sissy bar?
Hi there!
I need to add backrest ("sissy bar") and basic luggage options to my 2000 Kawi GT550, but the aftermarket for this bike is...zilch. Nada. Riding two-up for the next 6 months, gotta have something!
I was hoping somebody here could point me toward a person/company/service/etc in Ireland (preferably near Galway) that could grab a bit of metal and bend/drill/weld into a quick, functional sissy bar, and side luggage bits, on a budget. Going to ask at the local hardware store tomorrow, but figured I'd ask here as well!
Backrest:
Nothing fancy or special, just something we can strap a pad onto, and safely lean against. Bike has a really solid, metal rear luggage rack with bolt points, should make things fairly simple, I hope.
Luggage:
I'd like to strap my small drybags (20L) onto either side of the bike, requiring a small brace to be attached for them to strap onto/lean against. This way they won't interfere with my wife's legs (she is, erm, vertically challenged).
I've attached a highly technical drawing of the intended result
Thanks for any help!
