Default removeable backrest question
i found this backrest online and the seller says it came off an 08 super glide. however when you look at the distance between the mounting points, they are much closer together than all the others i have seen. this looks more like the backrests i have seen for bigger bikes. can anyone shed some light on this?

Note sure what it fits, but it is definitely NOT for a Dyna.

LeatherPro is correct, its definitely not for a Dyna. Looks like it would fit one of the touring bikes that have the "4 Point" docking hardware.
