H-D Adjustable. You can change the angle while you ride. The best investment you can make for comfort. Then when you want the clean look just press the latch and it come right off and bike looks just as it does now.

Yep, I have the adjustable one. Bought it for long trips only.....havnt taken it off yet. I forgot what its like to ride without a backrest. Well worth the money, but a little pita to install. Directions arent worth two cents.
