I am considering purchasing a riders back rest for my 2009 Heritage Drivers.

I see that the one made by Fire House customs is no longer available.

I have found ones made by 'Bestem' and 'Grasshopper'.

Any thoughts on these products. Any preferences or any other makes that you could recommend?

I live in the UK and would have to ship it here so returns are not really an option so your input is appreciated!

Thanks

 

I use the one from Grasshopper on my '11 Heritage. It works as intended, and is a solid product.

 

Here is the one I used for a while....after I tried the grasshopper. I can't remember who makes it though.

 

I used a springer seat rail on my stock Deluxe seat and now able to use the Harley Backrest like that which is on my bike right now.

 

I use the Grasshopper too, It's about the right size for me, not too tall. comes off and on easy too

 

Thanks

The one in 07 Deluxes picture looks like the product from a company called 'Bestem'. The rear rest pad looks a bit smaller than the others I have found - how was it for comfort as it looks smaller?

I like the Deluxe rail idea but I think they are $$$$ or over here £££££!

 

I worked the pad a little.....thinned it a bit.. I might have used a different pad altogether. My memory is shot!

 

Here is a post I made about my Utopia backrest on my Heritage. Being tall, I had problems finding the right one. This one has been great!

 

I have the grasshopper on mine. Here is a picture of it installed. I am short, so it hits me too high. My husband and I are going to have to make some adjustments to lower it down and thin out the padding.

 

I tried that with the grass hopper also....couldn't get it right. In the end I wound up with a different seat.
