you need to cut that pin in half, pad the one side and use it as a sissy bar back rest (pin visible from the rear.)

Re: meantime build. "the swinger"

thats an awesome idea! or i could try to find an old stingray baseball bat holder to put it in! oh and we can't make it to our local parts guy so the frontend won't be together til early next week.
