Default Deluxe backrest

I did some longer distance riding this weekend. Loved the ride, but my back was pretty sore when I got home.

I have read as much info as I can on this forum, but I'm not sure I know what to do. Can I get a Springer rail for my deluxe seat and then put the Springer driver backrest on? What are the part numbers?

I don't want to replace my whole seat and I want to be able to use my current passenger pillion.

Any help?

Thanks!

Yes, you can!!

Low back rest: 52826-97
High back rest: 52827-97

Can't seem to find the part number for the rail right at the moment. I put a Deluxe seat on my Springer Classic and added the Heritage Springer rail and it looks great. My back rest is in the mail, but I am really waiting for this winter when I can get my seat tailored. Need to get it dug out in the bottom....back and down with some rounding where my legs come off it. I think there is someone on this site that does it in North Carolina?!

Springer seat rail: 52687-97

Hard to get now, but you can try Chicago HD. That's where I picked mine up a few months ago.

I just went with the Springer seat...it's much more comfortable. However, the Deluxe pillon will not work now.
