I have had 3 of these on different bikes over the years. One time I had them rebend the backrest for a more comfortable ride. For the money I don't think they can be beat.

I have one and love it. The quality and price are great.
BTW they change steel vendors a few months back and now the flexing isn’t what it used to be.
Good people to deal with. Give them a call they’ll answer your questions

That's a great price! I think I have two one a little older small blemish and the newer one used a couple times. So I'll do $50.00 it will cost 10 to 15 t ship.

I bought mine about 5 years ago to use on a trip to Smoky Mountains. Made a huge difference for me. Money well spent.

Has anyone seen anything like that for the Dyna? Would probably have to have a bracket/bar that mounted to the fender side rails. Anyone?

Mine has been on 2 bikes, originally bought it for my 2015 Street Glide Special, modded it a little bit to fit me, and then put it on my 2015 Ultra Limited. I've traveled over 60,000 miles with it and really like it.

I purchased one a few years back, it was sooo flimsey it was unusable. While riding it would flex with the slightest bit of pressure. I reached out to the company and they took the item back no questions asked. I wouldnt order one again, but the company was good to deal with.
