Roctane removable passenger backrest

[Tripler]

Apologies if this has been covered before (I did search but found nothing).
Has anyone found a quick-release passenger backrest for a Roctane (possibly the same for a B)?

Thanks

Yeah, I've been looking for the same and haven't found other relevant posts yet. It's unclear whether the stock frame that hosts the saddle bags on our model is compatible with some of these removable sissy bars/passenger backrests. Let me know if you find any good products!

Can't 100% but so far I've been able to bolt up mutliple bagger parts (like a top case mount made for the bagger) on my roctane.

My experience so far and gut tells me the rear end is the exact same and you should be able to install Bagger parts on your bike. The roctane and bagger do not have the same wheelbase (total bike length) like due to the 21 front wheel and different steering angle but everything else seems to be a match for me.

I would buy bagger parts if I were you.

Yeah I think the B and TC stuff might have similar fitment but not the base and Classic trims. I just checked with Hornig about their removable sissybar and it unfortunately doesn't fit with the Roctane.

My message:

Have you tested this product fitment on the Roctane trim? If it fits can you upholster to match the Roctane seat material and if so what is the additional cost? Thanks

Hello,

thank you very much for your email.
We have tested it and it doesn't fit for the Roctane.

If someone finds such a product that fits or a sound and reasonable modification to make such a product fit the Roctane trim, please let us know here. Though I will say, IMO, it's unlikely such a product will roll out. If you look at the system that supports the sidebags in the microfinche, you can see how adding a spacer for for a product like Hornig's just isn't feasible. Hopefully, someone comes up with a solution
