Default Drivers Backrest

Well got to try my new seat out today after a week of cold and rain. If you havent ever ridden with a seat with a backrest you are missing out. It is probally the best purchase, I have made so far and cant wait till get to go on a long trip with it.

I too have been looking for a solo seat with a back rest that fits a Dyna.

Not sure what you are all looking for specifically but thought I would share the set up I have on my 07 Bob. Of course I never do any 2 up riding so this is pretty much permanant for now.
It is a stock seat with a Fehling backrest / luggage rack combo. It is very sturdy and comfortable once you get used to the back pad.

Later,
Joe

I've got a seat backrest in my car and yea it's comfortable. It would look silly on my Street Bob though.

Ya its a C&C Fast Back, there website didnt show one for the dynas with a backrest but I gave them a call and he said they could build me one. They have some good looking solo seats as well, that they put back rests on for the baggers. Im sure they would make for a Dyna as well, if you give them a call.

Backrest is adjustable and just slides out if you dont want it on.

Hi im looking at buying a second hand Fehling rider backrest and rack from a guy with a 2017 wideglide. My bike is a 2017 low rider s.

Looks the same as the pics in post #6 above.

Will it fit my bike?

I looked at the Fehling website and it appears the backrest and rack for the wideglide is a different part number than for the low rider s.

Fender struts are the same between both bikes I think. Rear fender width I'm not sure about. Rear fender is different so there might be different location for where the rack bolts in the center of the rear fender?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
