Back rest
I have found that I really like a back rest on my bike. When I was younger it didn't matter. Now the first thing I do is put one on. It sure feels good to have something to lean on. What do you think.

None of us are getting any younger and getting older isn't for sissys. I had a backrest on my 04 EGC and used it once or twice. Didn't really see a need for it then. Nowadays, I need to use one if I want to ride for more than an hour or so. It's just a fact of life I guess.
I have the adjustable riders backrest on my RKC and I love it.

My last bike had one, so my new bike got one within a month of me getting it.
As for which back rest, that is the question.
Adjustable or not.
After this summers first long ride I will be able to answer that for myself.

I had one on my ROAD GLIDE<and loved it, for longer trips, MY Fat bob, I don't feel the need for one. Its a different kind of riding, and I feel fine without the backrest. OH and i'm 77 going on 21.

If I'm going to ride more than 200 miles or so the backrest goes on the bike . Mine is adjustable and it means a huge difference for me on those long trips .

Back rest.
Thanks for the response. I was wondering if I was becoming an old sissy or wasn't hard core enough.😁 But at 61 and what I have put myself thru with work and all. It makes my neck and shoulders ache to not run a backrest.
