| After looking high and low , I couldn't part with the money they wanted for a passenger backrest or peg to floorboards for my 2011 8 ball , so I built them myself .
Took me 12 hours and numerous beers for the peg to floorobard brackets .torch , twist , cool , grind try again . I built my first and last set but it can be done . Both were made using 3/4" solid square stock .
The backrest was much easier and cost me total of $30 to powder coat it , wife is lovin it .
Not interested in building anymore but thought I would pass along it is possible if you know a good welding shop to get it done.
PS the backrest v is a trace of the taillight v .

Delray Beach, FL United States | What is the backrest attached to under the seat? I like the look of it in stead of the usual brackets that come through the panel behind the seat.
Nice job ! |
