    How much are you willing to pay?
    I saw a really nice one on Ebay last year go for $410

    I have two actually but would need at least $225 since I gotta pay for a new set of tires.

    I built one last year from some aluminum angle and a $9 pad from ebay.
    I was not pretty but it worked.
    I sold it on ebay for $35 once I got the king queen seat recovered.

    Those backrests go like hot cakes, especially ones in good condition. And for this reason people pay big money for them. I have seen them go for anywhere from $175 to over $400. I'm looking for one myself, but can't justify $400 for it!!!
