Yes, I'm sure someone here knows. But it's not me. This might get you back to the top though.

In response to the same question you posted in the other thread, what Softail model are you referring to; Heritage, Deluxe, Slim, etc?

Yes.

HD only offers the signature seat w/backrest for $550.

Other options are all over the Internet, i.e., eBay. I found several for under $100. Be aware that the ones I found under the $100 price range, require the removal of the passenger pillion. This is fine with me.

Check out YouTube, there is a video of someone who installed one on his Softail.
Air Wing, JM & Grasshopper Limited (my choice) are suppliers. I plan to purchase one soonest.

Cheers,

B

I have a Grasshopper for a Deluxe. Much much in the appearance department, but for temporary use for extended trips, it works great.

Got mine off ebay for about $70. I use it on long trips and it only takes a minute to install or remove. You can kind of see it in this pic.
