Talking New backrest cushion . . .
I never do any mods to my Deluxe anymore. Got bored and decided to try a new backrest cushion. This one's a bit smaller and doesn't have that "lollypop" look like the bigger cushion. Thought I'd share as I'd not seen one on anyone elses bike here . . .

Groan . . . from that @#$%&* Harley catalog LoL. I was paging through and spotted this as an option for the Deluxe. It caught my eye because the top of the sissy bar matches the grab rail on the seat. It was hidden from view with the larger one. Kinda sporty in a wierd sorta way. Thanks!

I hate when that happens.

BTW that back rest looks good. Cleans the back up a bit.

Thanks y'all. Face it, I'm a cheap basket - new bike or backrest pad, new bike or backrest pad. The pad won out and I got a new look. Tell ya though, I had to put the blinders on walking through that showroom.

I like it and I know about the "show room" walk through's. I have decided I am going to get a 2nd bike and it's hard not pulling the trigger. I just can't make up my mind, an old shovel head project scooter or a new SG. Who knows where this will end up, maybe a 3rd bike???

Definately. The dealer just got a butt-load of new bikes in all sorts of color combos. Salesman spotted me and I just about ran out of there to get away from him. Last thing I heard was his voice trailing off 'SteveO, we just got a white hot pearl ROAD KING CLASSIC - COME BACK !!!! LoL
