After buying the wife the touring seat I took the stock pillion and cut it down for a custom rear fender pad.
Its 7 in high which supports my back really good, then I had it covered and spots installed to match the top of the bags for a custom look. I love it.

Its only for Solo riding, not a pillion seat for riding on.
Just for my comfort and looks.

I saw that and liked the idea, just not crafty enough to pull it off... I searched for approx. 30+ days through all the internet sites deciding which route I would go. I am so surprised that HD corp hasn't decided to make extra money with a backrest option???

Anyway, happy so far and will let the members know after some extended time how it turns out...
