Firehouse will not fit the '09 with the passenger pillion on the bike. If you take it off, it will work.

Default backrest

Firehousecustom.com I have one on my 09 Heritage and it does the job. Yes, it does fit with the passenger pillion, in fact you can't use it without it.

Fish -

What do you mean it won't work without the passenger seat? Mine, and everyone else's I've talked to, will not work with the seat on, but works fine without the rear seat. It slides under the seat bolts, and there is nothing on mine that would prohibit you from using it without the rear seat. I am curious as to why yours is the opposite?

Thanks everybodi for your answer

Can you put pics of your Heritage with the driver backrest and the passenger pillion?
Thanks

Firehouse sent me this

Our drivers backrest does work on the 2009/2010 models, however the bend in our current brackets doesn’t quite match up to the new passenger seats. It still works it just pushes in on your passenger seat a bit

What do you think about this? looks good?

I just ordered an adjustible HD backrest for my Road King off Ebay but I will definitely look at Firehouse for my Heritage.
