Rider backrest
Rode for over 100 miles today and found the stock seat on my 2017 Heritage to be very comfortable. I would like a backrest but I don't think I can add one to this seat, can I? I don't think the pan allows for any additions to the stock seat. Too bad as this is the first stock seat I actually liked.

I hope the solo version you get is better than the one I ordered earlier in the year.Upright was too thin and flimsy to support me.Had to install the passenger pillion and it worked ok.Gets support from the pillion.

I like my grasshopper back rest.
I can use it with or without the back section.
Is it as nice as the adjustable one that was on my old Ultra, nope.
But it was allot less expensive and once I have it adjusted they are equal in function.

Thanks for letting me know. I will be sure that it isn't like that or it will go back.

For me the option was either Grasshopper or buying a new seat with backrest. I thought for this amount it was worth a try.

Please be sure to let us know. I'm on a '16 Heritage riding solo and it looks like it would do what I want. If I could mod the stock pillion to just the front part and still put a fender rack on, that would be all I need.... But if this works for you, it's a lot easier......
