Roctane backrest?

[RazMan]

I've got a solo seat on my 2023 Roctane and fancy getting a backrest.
Any ideas guys?

I ended up doing some research and confirmed that the seats from the classic fit a Roctane. You just need to remove the center seat mount that comes stock, move the turn signal connectors up a bit and fits like a glove.

just may want to keep an eye on the circular antenna under the seat. About 2 of the plastic anchors holding the antenna broke on mine. I zip tied the antenna until I put my original seat back on the bike then replaced the part holding the antenna

Thanks for posting these pics.

BMW site says that seat isn't compatible with the Roctane. But clearly it is. I think I'm going to go with it.

Question though. Do you know if it's possible to run it without the passenger seat as a solo? And also if you happen to know, is it compatible with the BMW Luggage rack?

On this seat no as it's a one piece seat.

If you find a solo rider seat (BMW does offer them) it will work with it.

As for the BMW luggage rack, do you have a photo of the exact one your thinking of? If it's a similar style like mine then yes as theres plenty of space between the seat and where it mounts

Thanks for the quick reply!

Part number on the luggage rack is

(77317914916). It goes where the passenger seat would go.​

Oh wow. That certainly looks like a 2 piece seat. But if it's a one piece then I think that answers that its not compatible with the luggage rack.

My local dealer has what looks like a Weekender single seat in stock. I saw it today. But BMWs site stays it's not compatible with the Roctane. Sure looks like it would be.

I Don't have my Roctane yet as it's being shipped to me in a few weeks. I guess I'll just take it to the dealer and see if the one they have fits.
