Default New Backrest
Just recieved a new backrest for my 09 Heritage Classic. Took a few minutes to install and I like the look.

What do you think?

Got it from Grasshopperlimited.com

I only took a spin around the block, but it felt pretty comfortable. Looking forward to a long run if the 100 degree heat in TX ever goes away.

Not a lot cooler here in KY,not too bad unless u get stuck n traffic so we been staying on the backroads. My wife is afraid of it making it to tight on her with the backrest. She is not big as nothing so i cant imagine it would do you ride 2up?

Chrisangie - I like your passenger seat. I am looking for a wider one so my wife is more comfortable. Is it wider than the stock seat and where did you get yours?

Does the bracket hit you in the back where it comes out under the pad. Looks like it kind of sticks out a bit.

Driver support rocks. I ride 2up almost all the time and the Mrs has no problems. Mine does move my but a bit further than I'm used to, but I'm getting used to it.
