Default Backrest for flhtc

Passenger backrest on a StreetGlide sorta defeats the whole purpose don't it????


Anyway, check into the rack that mounts where the TourPak once was. It was an option on my 93 FLHS:



Be warned you might end up looking like a certain member's former ride:

You don't need the rack if you don't want it. Go with the detachable hardware and the appropriate backrest.

Part #53405-87B for the rack. My 93 parts book states it will fit 87-93.
Part #52548-87A for the passenger backrest which fits 87-91 FLHS
