Default Riders Back Rest
My wife has a 2014 Softail Deluxe. She wants a driver back rest but the parts catalogs don't list one. Does one exist for a Deluxe? Thanks for the help.

I dont know about a newer Deluxe, I have an 06. I had to go to a springer seat, rail and back rest. Its bolts up to the seat rail.

Save yourself some time and money and just buy her a Mustang Wide Touring Vintage Solo w/ the back rest.

I tried several seats and never found one as comfortable as my mustang.

I have a backrest sitting in my garage that I bought for my 2009 Heritage that I no longer need.
I bought a Signature Series Seat with an integrated backrest.

It's a Kuryakyn KY-8987.

http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/ku...r/part/KY-8987

The only thing wrong with it is the left plastic post collar needs to be glued back on. (see it sitting to the left of the left post).
Also, the instructions list 8 spacers for Heritage saddle bags, but I don't recall the spacers.

I'll take $125 shipped (paypal gift, no fees).
If it doesn't fit or she doesn't like it, as long as I get it back in the condition it was shipped within 30 days of the date I ship it out I'll refund the $125 minus my actual shipping cost.

If she wants it shoot me a PM.
