Default drivers backrest

Anyone use one of the drivers backrest on ebay for the heritage/fatboy with the stock seat? They look decent and are around $75. How is the quality?

Default Back rest

I emailed several months ago to a guy in France with a new green/black Deluxe. He purchased a back rest from "Chromeplace". He emailed to tell me that he liked the backrest and it fit around the rail on the Deluxe. This back rest has a wider back pad, but looks simple in manufacturing. Always read their feedback. I'll see if I can find the guy in France. And ask him how the br is holding up to use.

Need to get an old lady. Comfiest back rest I've ever had. Totally serious, I can ride much longer with the back support than I can without. Although, I guess it'll run you a lot more than $75.
