Default Rider backrest

Does anyone know of a company that sells a rider backrest for my 06 FXDBI? I want to keep the stock seat and will it work with the pillion pad? THX.

You'll have to get a whole new seat set-up. You will not be able to use anything for the stock seat, especially with the p-pad. There is a company that makes a solo backrest with built-in rack. If you want a solo seat with a backrest, you'll need to look into Mustang or Corbin.

you could build one that you like rather cheap, no idea what they want for one on the above link. I did mine but am having it redonenow by someone wiser than Ido to some busted steel but mine is taller than you might be looking for. Mine caught a lot of wind and with me leaning on it busted my side plates (I think the day I set a new speed record on my bob had something to do with it)

I have some information on the type Blade is describing if you would like. I bought one for my 07 Street Bob but I plan keeping the solo seat on. And as Blade stated it can only be used with a solo seat.
Let me know if you needmore info.....
Later,
Joe

Well shat!! Just got off the phone with Harold at Protac. They don't make anything a backrest for any dyna newer than '05. Sporters newer than '03, and Road Kings ? Well, shot that to hell! I'd consider making something myself, but I'm pretty limited on my time. Oh well, back to the ol' drawing board!

I just got a return e-mail from Protac and they said they cant help but suggested a company called UTOPIA. I checked the website and sent them an e-mail. I will post the results.
