Default Backrest

Try searching on google,there are a couple of options but not very good ones.i ended up going with a mustang seat with built in backrest and have never looked back,best money I have ever spent on stupid expensive mc accys.

I tried searching too and all the ones I cam across either wouldn't work on my Fat Bob or would require serious modification and would be iffy anyways. So I ordered a C&C with riders backrest and absolutely love it. My previous setup was giving me lower back problems on long rides now its great for long trips or around town. Its gonna cost you more but really a integrated removable riders backrest seat is the best option. FYI mine is a solo with a riders backrest and added the matching pillion so if you don't use the two up setup much you can save some coin and just go with the solo.

I had exactly the same problem and looked at two options. One was the Bikers Friend option (see link below), but as I wanted a solo seat as my ol' lady doesn't ride with me, I went for the Corbin seat and removable oval back backrest add on. Been totally satisfied with my choice - but you may find the Biker's Friend works well for what you want.
