Bidouilles On My Wing
Backrest Modification
 
   
 

When you buy it, the Add-on backrest is delivered with a pouch for the passenger, as so as she can put all her 'little affairs'. It's a very good idea, but when this very pouch is oversized (As it is) you wonder if you have a pouch or a Samsonite suitcase behind you!

 
 


So the place devoted to your favorite passenger becomes smaller. By hope, my Valentine is not very fat, but I thought I had to do something to increase her living space.

I have to mention that we only use the pouch to put highway tickets, bank card and sometimes a telephone.

So we start from this situation where the passenger as only 25 centimeters (9,84 in) between her backrest and mine. It's short!!

The idea is to take off this pouch and to replace it by a litlle leather case directly integered into the backrest. As usual in this cases, I will find what I need on E-Bay with a leather case for Tomtom, at a cheapest price.

   

The first operation is to unclamp the backrest. After it is done we have

    A foam backrest

    A metal plate

    An imitation leather cover

    The famous pouch


You have to integer the leather case into the foam backrest. So dont hesitate! Take a knife or a cutter and...go!

After this operation, it becomes a litlle bit complicated. You have to cut and glue the cover withe the leather case and you should arrive to something like that!

   

 

So my passenger's living space is now increased of 6 centimeters (2,36 in)!
