Necessity is the mother of all inventions.... (or something like that)
So, out of the need to cut back as much as possible financially, one of the changes I have made is trying to ride the Busa to work as much as possible.
One of the other changes is pulling my 11 year old out of latch key to save us money. We can do this because I get off work early enough to pick him up from school.
However if I am riding the Busa I need to pick him up on the Busa.
I really don’t care for riding anyone on the back of my bike. I just don’t want to responsibility of someone getting hurt while I am in control of the bike.
But I figured the ride from school to home is pretty short, but I wanted a back rest.
Well, I am riding the Busa back back and forth to work, we are pulling our son out of latch key to save money, I just couldn’t see spending a few hundred dollars on purchasing a back rest, so I decided to build my own.
It sure isn’t a Corbin or anything like that, but it will serve its purpose and actually I don’t think it turned out too bad.
I used ½ inch ply wood for the back rest, picked up some foam from Wal-Mart. I had some scrap vinyl laying around.
I think it was roughly $30.00 “MAYBE†$50.00 (used stuff I had laying around)
I used my welder, some nuts and bolts and.. well here it is..
