Question '07 Fatboy backrest ??

How do I get the width to find out what size I need. Allready checked out the price at dealership but I would like to see if I can find an aftermarket cheaper. Don't really need a quick release. Any help please.

Hey TK, did you have to make some modification to the fender hole for the Haulen *** to fit? Seems like I read somewhere that on the 07's a larger hole is needed. Another question, will that backrest bend if I get on the throttle and she's on back?

it would fit with no mods needed other than removing the plastic hole plug. I swapped the plastic one with the rubber one because I looks better when riding solo. I also bought a chrome cap from Harley to put into the extra bolt where the plastic cap came out of. No you cannot bend the bracket. It has had a drunk 170lb passenger and it did not bend.

Thanks, she doesn't drink nor weigh 170 lbs so I will be safe. I may have to pic one up for use with my C&C Sport Tour. The HD detachable looks to bulky back there with that C&C two up seat.
