DaFrankster, Your backrest looks just like what I am hunting for my '05 Deluxe. Could you tell me where I could purchase one like it?

I like dafrankster's set up--you were able to keep the original seat and just added the backrest? I have the Heritage Springer backrest and it is a big iimprovement, but I would really like to have the full backrest.

Thanks fembiker........the full backrest really helps my lower-back on long trips. It's adjustability helps too.....!

I really struggled with the whole Deluxe seat-thing. Love the look of the stock-seat, but it was a bear to sit on for any length of time. Rich's does really nice work. They make all of their own hardware and powder-coat right there in their shop.

Have a great weekend........I need one.........been working way too many hours.

Cheers,

DaFrankster : )
