Back Rest Pad Assembly

[francoblay1]

BackRest Pad BDM220-00211 | BDM $192.50

Mounting Plate 223-000018-01 | BDM $74.75

BackRest Assembly BDM220-00012 | BDM $223.30

Hummm... it seems your saving a few bucks buying the Assembly... But...

1. What Mounting Plate comes with it?
2. The Pad looks different... bigger/more squared shape?

Can someone post pictures and/or expand in this matter, please?

Well judging by the prices their even more proud of their shit than they use to be.

Franco, I don't have the pad on my bike, I have instead purchased a biker pack which is designed to fit over the sissy bar and it has a thin pad built in the part that slips over the sissy bar. If I have a passenger, I add addional padding before I zip up the backpad.
Just something for you to consider, the backpack is 1/2 the price of the pad and it allow you to carry a lot of stuff.

Here is the bag expanded and fully loaded while riding through Kentucky

I can give you the details if you are interested(make and model of bag)

Here's my bar and pad setup...

 

[Bowhunter]

The bag is by Rapid Transit, the Battalion Tail Frame Bag, it holds a lot of stuff and I really like the way it drops down on the sissy bar.
My wife of 38+ years rarely rides with me, but she does add to the view for photos.

Here is a link to the bag.

Does the bag touch the fender at all?

He has a luggage rack under it

 

[Bowhunter]

I have the luggage rack on my sissy bar so the bag does not touch the fender in any way. The bag is only going to slide onto the sissy bar until it bottoms out in the pocket that slides over the bar, I can't tell you for sure if it would touch the fender if you don't have a luggage rack. But what I can tell you for sure, it that I like this bag better than any bag I have seen for everyday rides. I go with a much bigger bag that sits on the rack for long rides or turn it around and use it for a backrest if I don't have a passenger.

Here is my set-up for multi-day long rides without a passenger.
