Default Rider Backrest

I looked high and low to find a backrest for the stock seat on my wifes Heritage. I finally found one at FirehouseCustoms.com. It looks great,the price was right and best of all it took about three minutes to install. Pulled the passenger pillion off,took the two round knurled finger nuts off,the backrest mounting bracket slides down on the bolts,the nuts go back on and install the passenger pillion and I was done. This thing looks great,feels great and gives alot of back support. It even looks like it could be a stock part. I have low back problems so when I do ride the wifes bike I needed something and so does she. I just thought there might be some of you guys out looking for something similar,so I thought I would post a helpfull thread.

Thanks for the info. I think this is the same backrest the NetVamp is running but without pictures I can not be sure.

It is a well made product and if one is happy with the stock seat it's worth a try.

I tried one for my Heritage and it just didn't feel comfortable. Felt like it pushed me forward and caused me to arch my back =lower back ache.

I decided to get the Mustang setup with adjustable backrest. Still having problems finding a comfortable position so maybe it's just my back
