Default Help totally confused about Seat with Driver backrest

Hi
i wanted to purchase the sundowner seat and a riders backrest.
for my 23 heritage classic 114
I called Harley and they said that the Sundowner seat fits my bike and will accept a backrest

went to dealer today and they said no backrest for the sundowner seat

The only seat for my so soft tail is the Harley Hammock touring seat

anyone familiar with hammock seat on a 23 heritage classic 114
,I would love to know your thoughts and opinions

The Signature Series seat is likely what you need and what I have in Deluxe trim. Basically a Sundowner with adjustable back rest. Super comfortable, at least for me anyway. Check on Ebay as these aren't inexpensive. I paid a third of the dealer price for mine that way. The person bought new, tried it a few times and didn't like it. Sort of like marriage lol.

Good advice for saving some money Mr. O. This site's own classified forum can be an additional resource.
