Default Drivers back rest

I have a 98 Heritage with stock seats, does anyone know of a drivers back rest that will fit stock seats?

I'm not certain of that model in particular, but if the seat has a slot in it, it should work.

The only seats that I am aware of that came stock where on the SE road glides you can buy a seat that is set up that way. They are comfy on a bagger or such, most are very hard on the pocket book though most end up being in the 500+ range. Some are close to a 1000 for untire set if you get one that has a remote tilt function for back rest such as the SE road glide one.

That's pretty pricey, but from what I hear from those who use them, it's worth it on those long hauls.

It will eliminate a lot of stress on the back on ling hauls.

Hope I never have to do a ling haul. Those don't sound fun.

I went with the fixed rider back rest from HD for the RKC. It adjusts up and down only. It was only around $150 and it installed in about 10 minutes.
