Default new to the forums, saying hello

hello from Alberta Canada
I am new to the forum and wanted to pop into the softail section and say hello.

I do have one question, is it easy enough to attach a back rest for the rider on a stock seat?
thanks

Depends on the bike and the type of back rest. Detachable back rests are generally more complicated and some require relocation of the turn signals.

Hello Sample00,
Welcome to the forums. As for the rider backrest, I don't think you can add one to the stock seat. I maybe wrong, but I think you'll have to buy a completely different seat if you want a rider backrest. Ride Safe
