Rider Backrest for Deluxe

GF thinks she would like a rider's backrest for her Softail Deluxe.
Anyone have anything that works with the stock saddle on the Deluxe?

thanks!

Here is the thread https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...ack-rests.html

Here is my backrest http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-up-Harley...#ht_1265wt_800

A quick thing. I LOVE my backrest. But when it came the tooling was a tiny off. My hubby (a mechanic) bent it slightly and took a drill to open the holes a tiny bit. Then it fit perfectly and hasn't been off since. It could have a been a fluke but thought I would mention it.

Also I added the diamond ice rhinestone logo on the back it doesn't come with that :-)

Picture of it on my deluxe

Thanks to all who responded. Have elected to go with the same backrest as LIZDC.
GF saw the photo of the backrest with the Harley Bling added and said, "THAT ONE!".
Done deal. Hope to receive yet this week and install without any problems.
