My Heritage 2003 had a backrest and my Ultra 2015 too. No long rides withour a backrest. The type of bike invites to have a backrest and it affords me to make rides of over 700 miles per day..

All of my pre Harley bikes growing up had back rests/luggage rack combos, the telescopic kind that slide forward when needed and back when not. 2 Harleys in and no backrest even though it is 34 years later. I sometimes wonder what's wrong with me, LOL. In 2 weeks my Lepera Maverick ships, I almost ordered one with the removable backrest but the bucket felt supportive enough without.

So, never having used one, some questions. I run a stock seat & and a stock Ultra (take-off) seat with tour pack when riding 2 up. I'm guessing you have to remove the backrest if there's a passenger? Will the backrest work back and forth on both seats?
