Our first class upholstery is done by world renowned custom seat and backrest maker...Sargent Cycle Products. They have furnished imported materials that is a dead-on exact match for the factory seat covers.

Our GS Stealth backrest offers 2 easily adjustable positions.... full back and 1" forward (recommended for children ONLY.) Easy 4 minute install. No modifications necessary. When you do NOT want the backrest on your bike, it slides off in under 15 seconds. Worried about protecting the finish of your factory rack from our metal bracket. We got that covered, too. We furnish (4) 3M vinyl peel-n-stick strips to protect your factory rack from any scratches while the Stealth bracket is in place. See.. we thought of everything!! In case you are curious.. No...there will NOT be a gray cover.

Every GS Stealth Backrest® comes standard with a quick release knob for "tool-less" backrest removal as well as a standard hex screw if you choose a more permanent mounting method. The furnished polypropylene knob with stainless steel stud will stand up to any weather condition.. salt, UV, rain, cold, heat, hail, etc..With the hex screw... you'll need an Allen wrench (not included) and a minute or two to lock it into place or to remove it.

Give your passenger the support and comfort they deserve/demand when they need it and say good-bye to those pesky fingernail imprints in your ribs. As soon as they get off... remove the backrest and ride without looking like a sherpa with all kinds of ugly visible bracketry cluttering up the world's most beautiful dual purpose bike.

Pirates' Lair also offers optional semi-soft luggage for all our Stealth backrests from CDL Enterprises.. makers of T-Bags. A small around town Roll bag and a larger Universal Helmet bag. When your passenger isn't on board, flip the bag around and have it sitting in the seat behind you for better weight distribution.

Attention Gravitationally Challenged: Due to design restraints, we were limited in how much fore and aft room we could provide with our GS stealth. All our prototype tester's passengers were either normal weight or slim women. All said that they had PLENTY of room and were perfectly comfy. However.. it is our opinion that an overweight passenger or man might find the accommodations... lacking. Therefore, we suggest you seriously evaluate this aspect (and your passenger's) before purchasing.

* Pirates' Lair offers a Full 2 Yr Replacement warranty and I'll assume that Sargent will stand behind their pads and covers. Either way.. we're here should you need anything. Questions? Call 828.628.7093 EST
