Exclamation NikonF8's Driver backrest

NikonF8 I need your help!!! I've searched since last October for the exact solo backrest you have on your BEAUTIFUL Deluxe I just saw this AM online. I also put fishtail longshots on my 105th Anniv Deluxe - they are awesome aren't they?! Anyway, I wound up getting an aftermarket backrest that works but I'm not thrilled with it. I really wanted to find one like yours - I love the look of that padded solo-ring backrest!!! Problem has been finding it. I've searched everywhere. Is it attached to your seat? I know you listed "Corbin seat" but there was nothing for the backrest. If it's not being too forward, would you please, please tell me where to find it? Thanks so much - Please post or email me direct at: pam@107mus.com

I don't know what the rail is, but the backrest is the Heritage Springer low rider backrest.

It is obsolete and tough to find. They do pop up on ebay

Default backrest

my backrest is complicated. its a springer seat rail and low pad.it would not mate up with my corbin seat so its mounted to the rear fender struts by way of a home made bracket which was made and chromed. it took me a long time to come up with something and i was going to have it my way in the end no matter what. it took a lot of time and also cost me a lot to have the bracket made and welded then chromed. you can use a springer bracket with the stock seat it will work along with the pad if you can find one they are now hard to get all the boys with a deluxe have bought them up. but it still wont look like mine it has to be modified

The springer seat rail also fit softails that do not have the 200 rear tire. You can put a deluxe seat on a Heritage, earlier fatboy, etc.
