I ordered the "cvo" backrest pad from HD and the center matches the earlier cvo, more of a carbon fiber pattern vs the lines in the 17 CVO


Has anyone found the matching backrest pad?

 

Sorry mine came with it so it matched

 

They do not make one that match's the '17 CVO....

 

You're talking about the SG correct? My Limited came with it.

 

Yes correct, sorry I did not make that clear.

 

I tried looking into it and my google powers are not strong enough to find a matching backrest. Kind of odd that they would neglect to make one. One option you can do is purchase another pillion pad and get a generic backrest and let a shop use the cover from the pillion pad to put on the backrest. I know my OCD couldn't live with a mismatched backrest.

 

I use a '16 CVO pad. Just walking by, no one would ever notice. Almost have to study it to see that the insert is a sight mismatch from my seat.

 

Thanks for the replies, I hoped that I just failed at searching ! Im sure they will eventually release one.

 

I tried that, but no shop, or somewhere online has been able to get that pattern. HD service was no help either...


Thank you

The only place I could find one was at the following link:

I have been shopping around for a while and the biggest problem for the majority of the backrests was the mounting bracket would show due to the lower profile of the CVO seat. Looking at the website, they have the solution. I will be ordering one from them in the next couple of weeks. Hope this helps.
