Default Heritage Back Rest

Just installed a backrest on my FLSTC, from "Grasshopper LTD". It's a better backrest then I had on my Road*, and that one was great.
Takes a couple of minutes to install. Attaches to the existing seat bolts.
I got the one with the studs to match the seat and bags.
If your thinking of a backrest, check these out online. Total cost with shipping $125.00.

Mine was from the Grasshopper store on Ebay, 99 bucks and free shipping.

I am eying this for my 04 FLSTCI and I like the price, and i like that i dont need to change out my entire seat. Equals less out of pocket to add the backrest

However not many photos or videos are shown. Does it push you forward much? It seems to just sit in the sleeve, any chance it can pop out from a bump?

Here's mine; and with the tension I put on it while in use, it's solid.
