Default Driver Back Rest

Just installed a Firehouse Customs driver back rest on my Heritage. WOW fits like a glove. Awesome! What did I ever do without it?

Check out my sig, I also have the firehouse back rest. I love it and you can ride without passenger seat and the bike looks great. If you need additional pix let me know

I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the backrest w/o the passenger pillion or backrest. I just ordered one about 20 min ago so I guess I'll see sooner or later but now I'm curious.

How does it attach to the bike? The same posts that the seat uses?

Yes, two ***** that hold down the drivers seat, and the passenger pillion slides into.

Just rode over 2,000 miles in a week with the Firehouse back rest and it was great. Even did 800 in one day that's 13 hours in the saddle and I'm 65. The only thing is that once a day or so I had to bend the support back forward to get better support. Maybe the backrest brace could use a little tempering. Look close it's there.
