A while ago on here someone put a post up about a luggage roll with an adjustable backrest on it..I have tried the search on here but it's hopeless so does anyone know what it was or have a link to the post??

There are others too and many options if you look outside of the roll style bags.
I've got a kuryakyn bag with a rigid frame that came with multiple backrest pads of varying thickness to get the comfort correct.

Thanks mate...

G'day Sparra, I copped a bit of friendly ribbing for this - but very recently did a 4 day ride thru the NSW Snowy's area and as it was only myself as the wife wasn't coming, I fitted my Travel bag over my backrest and sitting on the pillion seat, I then purchased a smallish open cell inflatable camp pillow (rectangular shape) from a Khatmandu store and fitted it between the bag and my back with an occy strap to hold it in place against the bag. To save a bit of face (and prolong the commencement of the jibes) I fitted the rain cover over the bag and pillow so my mates were unaware for quite a while. Absolutely loved it and could have road all day, was able to inflate/deflate as needed and only cost $20. It will be coming with me on all over nighters from now on. It's approx. 30cm X 45cm and a few cm's thick depending on inflation pressure.

cheers

Doc sounds good and inexpensive. When it comes to long rides over a matter of days and ensuring comfort, I couldn't give a rats what my bike looks like or what people think or say. Long days in the saddle are not fun if you're not looking after yourself and in pain no matter how cool the bike may look.
