Product Overview
Long highway miles can leave the rider searching for lower-back support, while a jacket or small travel bag needs a secure place off the seat. This assembly combines a rider back pad with a rear rack for a more comfortable touring setup.
Many Vulcan S accessories are passenger sissy bars, but this product is identified as a driver-backrest design. Compare its mounting position and all supplied brackets to the photos, and make sure it will not interfere with the passenger seat, suspension, or other accessories.
