Default Driver backrest

What is a good, inexpensive(as in NOT HD) driver backrest for the Triglide?

You get what you pay for. I took the back rest off my 08 Ultra so I guess that would be free. I think the one we bought for wife's trike was $300, but they gave us a 30% discount because we bought it when we bought the trike.

Good Luck!

I know you said (Not Harley), but just wanted to share. I did go HD adjustable back rest and still have the original seat since it is an anniversary edition it is not possible to get the correct two tone. But with that said, I am so happy I went with the adjustable back rest. I use the adjustment frequently. Just my 2 cents worth, they are a nice accessory.

Although MOCO says it doesn't fit, the non adjustable drivers backrest mounting hardware does fit the Tri Glide at least up to 2013 and probably 2014 too. Part number is 52589-09A @ $39.95. Many times you can find just the drivers backrest for sale either on the HD Tourning Parts Forum or on Ebay.
