Congrats on the Eldo(!). Hope you'll add your info to the Registry pages here; https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/cal1400-registry-pics-thread-add-your-bike.11538/I'm new to the forum and new to Guzzi. I just picked up an Eldorado and was a little bemused to find there was no passenger backrest option available. My missus rides with me all the time. If this project is still progressing I am in for an option that preserves the stock two piece seat.
Well done....Good looking and functional design. Can you share some photos of the area where it is clamped....it may be able to give some ideas on how to adapt it to the Eldorados. The seat frame on the Eldos is a bit different to the Cali Touring & Custom.
Great....thank you for sharing. Were the clamps fabricated? They look like a different material......It has hinged clamps with an allen bolt, so no modifications required to the

Still a WIP. Waiting to get the Eldo back in the shop.Hi Todd....is the Eldo back rest project at a dead end or still WIP..... Cheers
You can get the backrest and frame here on GT. It's actually made for the touring 1400. Bolts right on. Don't know if it works with the original seat. Ordered both the touring seat and backrest for my 2016 Eldorado. Haven't gotten the seat yet. The rack and backrest costs around 350Likely a custom or one off for the show... happens on occcasion. Pic below shows it better. So what would you be willing to pay for such an item? It's come up before here to offer a detachable back rest for the 1400 rear rack/grab rail, however the Eldo rail would need to be more permanent. Post below on how many are interested, and how much you'd spend, and perhaps I'll see what I can offer.

Thanks Jim, it will not work with the stock seat as the Eldo rear seat bolts to the grab rail.It's actually made for the touring 1400. Bolts right on. Don't know if it works with the original seat.
True. Forgot about thatThanks Jim, it will not work with the stock seat as the Eldo rear seat bolts to the grab rail.
I also have a 2016 Eldorado and would like to purchase the backrest and luggage rack combo when you have it available. Before I saw this post I had tried the Hepco & Becker luggage rack but discovered I would have to replace the separate rider and passenger seat with the combined touring seat if I wanted to carry a passenger and still would need a backrest so I like your design to utilize the original seats on the Eldorado . Let me know when you think you’ll have them ready. Thank you, JimTrue. Forgot about that
How about it Todd?!Hi Todd....you reckon there are enough Eldo passenger back rest requests to give the project some new inertia?
Oh darn - that minor detail. If you were near No Virginia I could hand over mine!It seems impossible to get a bike into the shop to complete the job, so not sure what to say here.
