Is anyone aware of backrest options for my 02 S3T besides the ridiculously overpriced Corbin gunfighter and lady? |

You can install a Ventura luggage rack system. They specifically say "not to be used as a backrest", but it definitely functions as one, and it's a heck of a luggage system as well. |

Thnx Hughlysses, Do you know if the Ventura system is an "easy on - easy off" kind of thing? |

I've got one on my 2000 S3. The brackets that form the base of the system are semi-permanent and are fairly difficult to get on and off; you have to remove the rear bodywork to get to the bolts. There are three different rack extensions however, a "grab handle", a short rack, and a tall rack (that works with the Ventura bags). If you can live with the small handle back there when you don't need the backrest/rack, I think you'll be happy with it. |

Thanx for the info. I saw the one that just sold in the classifieds and that's what prompted me to check the Ventura website. |
