Afternoon Boys,
Has anyone found a passenger back rest for one of these that they like? Wife just said she wants one.

You will have to find one that will work on that seat. Look here which I see some that will work with that seat.

Thanks Alleyoop, I'm looking.

I read where someone took a headrest from a car, fabricated a bracket to go thru the seat and attach underneath. seemed to work.

Thanks davec, I was hoping for a bolt on, but I may have to go that way.

Mornin Boys,
Ok, I ordered a trunk for the trike from e-bay and it came. I got a cheap one just to see how it would work, it didn't. It was a cheap one that was not built strong, very light weight. Something heavy was put on it and it came broke and out of shape. The company I got it from said they will send me my money back and to just keep the trunk. Ok fine, I can throw it away.
So I need a better one.
What brand have y'all found that you like and how much did you pay? The one I got was $30. I see them from $30 to $365.00. I don't want the $365.00 one.
I'm looking for one with a back rest.

Scooter Trunks.

This is the one I got and as you can see it was (List price:$59.90) and I got it for (Now:$29.95). I can't find the weight on a lot of them, that's why I'm asking for opinions. I'm --> guessing <-- the weight should be more then 2.9 lbs to be a strong one.

Just checked out the box,,,looks to be real nice ,,,there is shouldered washers which is key,but if there's a bunch of flex (it is ABS afterall) you may have to fabricate interior and exterior base plates out of 3/8 ply,,,not the regular ply,,,the good danish ply,,,it'll have 6 or 7 plys in that 3/8 thickness,,,that should be plenty i would think,,,and that thing will be on there

[hobbles]

Mornin cyborg,
I agree with a base plate, already told the Wife I was going to ad one to a good box for extra support, but not with the one I have. I buy 24 cans of natural light beer that comes in a stronger box than this one is. I do need/want a stronger one. I know I could find another hinge to replace the broken one, but the box is still to flimsy.

[cyborg]

This is the reordered one?,,,ouch,,,you can get overlay hinges like that from a mustang convertible,,,late 80's - early 90's heavy duty metal ones,,,put this psyco circus to bed

Perhaps when you find a good tail truck you could mount it forward enough to use as a back rest.
