Wondering if there's anyone that can tell me where to get a good backrest for my 2003 Venture. I met a couple from Canada last week with a 2006 Venture with what he said was a Yamaha OEM backrest. I checked through Yamaha and I wasn't able to find one. If someone could could lead me to Yamaha's backrest that would be great, or if anyone has a backrest they love on their second generation Venture, I'd be very appreciative to find out where they got it.

Thanks, Terry

I have the Diamond R pillow top back rest on my 06 RSV and love it. It's easy to install and adjust and it folds down. The only thing I did was to loctite every bolt before installation except for the tilt adjustment. I did call Yamaha about a bolt on backrest and was told that they do not make one due to liability issues. :guitarist 2:

Ditto what redknight13 said. I have one and it has been a great addition and back saver.
