I'm 6'1" and 210 lbs and have the same rider backrest from CVO Backrests. I've only put a couple hundred miles on it so far but love the difference it makes in riding. There is very little flex and the position can be adjusted a little forward or back depending on how tall the ridder is and the positioning of the bars. I'm doing the 1000 mile Cannonball Ride this weekend and will let you know how it feels after the ride. My first impression is that I'm loving the new rider backrest. Only complaint is that it doesn't have any pattern like that of the seat but I will take it to a local shop to see if they can customize it to match the seat.

I road my M8 Kng today. 100 miles round trip for work. I got home and the wife and I got on the Hammer FJR and then celebrated being married 23 years and living as one for 27 years. All that was heard was the pipe when yeah went for the throttle... Adjust the suspension on the fly and a 4th gear roll on a bagger makes the front wheel lift high. Just leave your hat on,,, baby!!!!

Good color scheme on your CVO SG I almost bought that for wife to match my CVO but mama and her friends think it's very manly so she settled for candy cobalt and indigo ink. Received the backrest today it looks better then picture it doesn't have the look of industrial equipment like in picture and can't really complain the price is extremely reasonable compare to any backrest. It's kinda strange that company only makes CVO backrest hope more and more people support these hard working people to keep their doors open.

M8 RIDER'S I NEED YOUR HELP!:
I purchased a pair of 13" Hand adjustable shocks from an M8 forum member. Can some of you look at your shocks and tell me if the right shock is mounted with the chrome shaft mounted up or down? There has been some confusion on prior years and I want to make sure I install mine correctly. Reply to post or PM me, thank you.
