Backrest designs?

I'm building my own backrest. Just using simple plates screwed to the seat springs. Anyone else make their own?

Let me know how swinging your leg over it works out.

We did just fine with our sissy bars in the 1960s and 70s.

My 50 Harley has a kickstand you can put weight on, and a foot board. Besides, I'm on the long side of 69.
I don't bounce like I used to or lift a leg as high..

Easy thing I do is not to have leg swing over. This as I can bend my knee, so my foot is near my thigh, then it is shorter and effectively lighter. I say lighter due to weight closer to center of gravity. I can then move pointing knee over my banana seat. Once my knee is over the seat and my foot can extend un-bending my knee, I do that. I tilt the bike toward me initially, then have the bike plumb when I go to put foot down on opposite side. This is the low gear approach to getting onto the seat. Packages on the back or tall sissy bar don't matter then.

Well I just picked up a computer swivel chair. Gonna pull the backrest and use the chair part in the shop.
