Default Less expensive option for a passenger back rest then HD?

Hey guys,

I have a new 2010 RKC, and would like to get a passenger backrest for the wifey.

Does anyone else make a backrest for this bike? The HD one is about 400 bones with all the stuff! Ouch!

It is ridiculous what they charge for them. I recently spent all the cash to put that set up on my SG. Kinda makes ya sick. Good luck in finding a deal.

+1 Once you have a TP it's hard to be without one!

I agree with everyone here, either buy used or get a TP used. I have purchased 3 different sissys with pads all used and saved tons of cash. I don't thing I spent 400 total on all three.
