    I just purchased a backrest off a 650 Maxim but I noticed that the bolts don't line up with the shocks? I thought the 650 and 750 frames were the same size?

    I did notice that I have a another spot just behind the shock bolt that the backrest would line up with, but I don't know if I am supposed to drill a hole through to match up to it..

    If anyone could lend me some insight.. I would appreciate it.

    IF your 750 is like my 650 then you'll have to drill and make the backrest fit. I scoured high and low and just grabbed one that would sort of fit and drilled and bolted. done and done.

    Got any pics of your backrest and seat/frame area?

    My situation is exactly that. I think I might just drill to make it fit, but I figured I would ask here first before doing that.

    I picked up a XS650 back rest and will have to drill to make it fit. The holes are very close a little adjustment is needed. You made find this is the same for your 550.
