Why does everyone hate the backrest for the cb's?  |

It makes a beautiful bike ugly. Like Charlize Theron in that serial killer movie. Still can't believe they could make her look like that. Just MHO. |

Most consider it a sport bike, not a sport tourer.
Though it can do both easy enough.
I still have a complete Hondaline version, with the extensions so you can move it up to the rider.
It was pretty nice for riding solo and gave you a good place to tie things on.

Personally I love the backrest I usually have a 40 mile freeway trip or like today I'm going to the oyster run like this with the lady.

I have a KG set up on my F. My girl loves it, and I love it, and I think it looks good on the bike along with being extremely functional. I also have an original KG bag for it.

I bought a really nice rack and backrest thinking I'd use it but I have not. I had it on my 750 for a few months and finally took it off.
I also have a trunk that I think is pretty cool but I don't use that either. The trunks you don't see very often. |
