Hey all. I've removed the backrest on my Heritage since I'm the only one on it 99% of the time. Quite a little chore. Is there a good, aftermarket quick-release backrest that looks good, for when the wife comes along (search came up with nothing useful...)?

thanks for any pointers,

 

What kind of seat and backrest mechanism do you have?

There are tons of aftermarket backrests, some with quick releases ... Google is your friend

Get the HD quick release set up. It is nice and solid. I don't care for other after market backrests. They seem cheap to me.

 

Thanks, I was hoping to get you guy's opinions on the best setups.

 

I bought some used detachable sideplates off ebay: 53815-00. Make sure you get the right ones because the Heritage sideplates have a notch in them on the bottom edge. Just reuse the stock rack and backrest.

Got the docking kit from HD.

Finished it off with a fender bib from Chilhowee Leather for when I take the backrest and seat off.

 

+1 HD quick release.

It is solid. No complaints...

 

+2 Yeah I have the HD set-up for my Fatboy. Bought the locking latch for it too.

 

+3 I have the HD adjustable one and it's great. Fully adjustable and I can remove it in under 2 seconds if needed.

 

+4. It's what I have and I can put it on or take it off in ~3 seconds. Haven't heard any complaints from the wife about sturdiness even with a pretty heavy bag attached to it. (no that wasn't a shot at the ol lady)

 

LOL... Sure...
