Default New backrest

I had Bar Enterprises install memory foam in my seat this past week. While shootin the breeze with the owner, I asked if he could make me a "Springer" high backrest. Showed him some pics from the web, only thing he said he couldn't do is the seam side to side. No prob, as I can't seem to find a reasonably priced oem backrest. He made me one, the price was great.

Here are a few pics:

That comes pretty close to lookin like the stock Harley backrest I have on my 06 Deluxe. I still for the life of me can't figure out why Harley stopped making them! I just love mine!!! It Looks good Dude!

Yeah, I recently started looking for the tall backrest. The prices are crazy. He made this for sixty with memory foam in it. Your bike is pretty sick. Thinking about doing cam's in mine. How's it run with the 211's?

Did that include him making the mounting hardware (or how does it mount up?)? Can he make more?
