Default Which Passenger back rest pad?
Hey gang,

I have a 2011 Street Bob/Dyna and Im looking for a back rest pad to fit my black round Medallion Style Sissy Bar Upright. But I dont like the harley one because of the staples shown on the bottom back. Do you recommend any other brand that is approximately the same size? Ill attach the sissy bar that I have (stock pic).

Thanks
Rich

I simply built my own sissy bar and used a piece of 1/8" plate as the mounting point for the backrest. 3 screws later and no one can see the staples.
