the hex screw is on the rear of the seatback... HD sewed a slot for the allen wrench - but it's off set from the screw. I have to install the seatback with the rear of the seat undone - reaching under the seat while squeezing the posts together.... then re-installing the seat screw.

it's not made for us bigger guys...... LOL

Same here! It works fine for me but I don't do long rides!

Pay a little more now and get the adjustable one. Better than wasting time and more money if the non-adjustable doesnt work out for you.
For my back (had back surgery), I needed the adjustable one because I need in pushing up into my lower back (feels good for me). When I get higher bars I will be able to adjust it back and kick back and relax. YMMV
