Rider Backrest Input requested. I just pulled the trigger on a new '23 Anniversary Heritage. I have always been OK with the stock Heritage rider seat (no passengers anymore). BUT, I want/need a good rider backrest that will attach/fit with the stock seat, or else will be looking at an aftermarket seat with one.
Does anybody know of an aftermarket rider backrest available that adjusts and pivots to fold down, like a Mustang or Saddlemen backrest does? Not a fan of the Grasshopper or similar style backrest; want one that has the pivot point so it will fit snug against my back. Kind of hate to give up the stock seat since it has the Anniversary red band, but having a good backrest is more important.
Appreciate any input anyone can give.

Yup - stock seat gives you saddle a$$ in about a half hour - I've ridden Hammock for over an hour and still felt great, esp. with the seat backrest.
I've seen other members say there are better seats for long distance touring, though. Seeing as you have a tour bike, you might want to investigate further. I don't tour, just cruise or day trip.
