I want to keep my stock Harley seat, but want to add a driver backrest. Any suggestion's on who makes a well built backrest that will bolt on? I do not want to have to buy a whole another seat that comes with a backrest. Thanks for any advice and help!

 

check out grasshopper limited. bought one last year, works pretty good, seems like it pushed me a little forward, but ended lower back strain

 

I got one for my Heritage at Firehousecustoms.com, but their link does not seem to be working this morning.

Maybe they no longer exist?
Maybe just technical difficulties on the site today?


Will post the link anyway, just in case the problem is temporary.

I love the backrest and it works well with the stock seat. I hope these guys are still around.

 

Yes, the link did not work for me neither. I look the grasshopper one, seems like that will work for me!

 

Just ordered my backrest from Grasshopper for my Heritage, I'll post pics one day next week when I put it on.

 

Bought the wife a new rear touring seat and then took the original one and made my backrest out of it for me when riding solo.

 

My budy has a 100th.anniversary Heritage Springer.He has a backrest and the grab rail.I ussumed they were Harley stuff,I'll ask him tonight and also see if I can get a few pics.

 

I am in the process of making a detachable drivers backrest that will attach to the sissy bar mounts. If it work out I may try to market them along with some speaker mounts.

 

Kuryakyn driver backrest. Extremely comfortable. Bolts right on and adjustable in various way.
