What do you think of the backrest? Is the attachment solid? I could not get Haulen Azz to give me any details on how it attaches. I'm ready to order one...but I'm concerned it will swivel on a single bolt mount and may not be sturdy enough if passenger leans back. Really appreciate your feedback.

It attaches with 2 bolts...no swivel. I had to drill a hole to attach it, but nothing on my bike is stock...so I have no idea what you will have to do to mount it. The OL loves it, it is very solid.

Yep, 2 bolts as Tom said. But with the weight of the riders and bolts the seat isn't going anywhere, it's solid! I also glued the rubber gasket to the bottom of the bracket so it doesn't slide off and stays with it. Although I swear I don't ride bitch the OL likes it too!
