Default Rider Back Rest

I'm shopping for a Rider's backrest for my '05 Deluxe. I don't really want to change the stock seat because it actually fits me pretty well, but a lot of the backrests I've seen (like Corbin) look like it's incorporated with an aftermarket seat. Anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks....

I put one of these on my FLSTC. I'm not sure how I like it yet. It sits me forward farther and I kinda sit on the center hump on the seat. I don't know how it would affect the deluxe but it is an option for you.

Firm and perky 42 double D's make an excellent back rest! (GRIN)

My vote goes for a Mustang with the removable/adjustable backrest.
Got 50,000 mile on mine and love it!

HD makes a backrest and rail for a Springer that fits the Deluxe seat.

Thanks for the suggestions! I think I like the sound of the firm & perky DD's - it would help if I could see some pics....
