This is exactly what the Heritage delivered, now I can use my backrest and ride all day.... if only I had a more comfortable seat!!!!!

Try a Mustang seat. I love mine.

Thanks

your referencing the road king custom. had the beach bars on it, and the chrome flyscreen sans windshield. a little more chrome throughout the bike, and 12 inch shocks on the rear. 2007 was the last year for that.

I couldn't ride for more than 20 minutes without getting a sharp pain in the neck. 12" mini apes made all the difference in the world.

I installed heritage bars on my 2011 FLTRX and went on a 350 mile ride last Friday. A lot better! Not perfect, but better. Cables and everything transfer over, no extra cables needed. I'm thinking another seat is what I'm needing as well.
