Hi. Be gentle, this is my first dumb question! I'm looking at used backrests, why wouldn't a 1300 r-s-t backrest fit a c model? I know I have correct brackets for my c, I just need the backrest and there's one cheep on ebay. Thanks!

Seat bolts, fender bolts, etc are different between the R/S and C models - where does it mount?

R/S backrests have a bracket that goes between the driver and rear pillion seats. 1300C's came with a 1 piece gunfighter style seat. The mounting points used for the R/S are not there on the C. Also, beware of the ones on E-Bay that say "will fit 1800/1300C". The 1800 also has a 2 piece seat. I think they are "assuming" it will work on the 1300 also. The only ones I know for sure to work are the Grasshopper, the Protac, and the Kury switchable backrest. All of those mount to the shock bolts. I have thought about getting one for an 'R' and trying to mod it onto my 2 piece Mustang seat... bolt it to the seat pan or something.

Thanks,guys! I havethe correct brackets that bolt to the fender that use a stamped steel backrest. Just wondering if the only difference is the brackets. Thanks again!

Now are you talking about driver backreat or passenger backrest?

Passenger

AH! My bad... I thought you meant driver backrest. You have to get the correct sissybar that will fit the brackets you already have. Most of them are not interchangeable. For example, if you have Cobra brackets, you have to use a Cobra sissybar.

Gotcha. Have Hondaline brackets, looking at a hondaline neo retro kind of lowboy backrest. looks like it ought to work. I'd have a complete, new, backrest, less than a C note! Hope Hope.

There are 2 kinds of Hondaline sissybars that have different bolt hole patterns. There is the standard and deluxe.

 

[WannaRide]

I have the deluxe

Sounds like you are on the right track!
