I am looking to change the style of backrest that I currently have on my bike. Right now I have this back rest, but it is to big and gawdy IMO. I am looking for something a lot narrower and in the low to medium range. Does anyone have some pic's (preferably with the stock passenger pillion) of their bike with a backrest similar to what I described, I am just looking for some ideas.

Thanks

 

i have the 2010 fatboy lo i have the harley custom round sissy bar with the back rest pad very nice and small. harley makes the custom round sissy bar in chrome to..

 

I have the custom round bar also...just looking for a better look, even if I have to go with a different bar.

 

I don't know if you can judge from the picture below but here's my backrest with the stock Fatboy seat / passenger pillion:



I have the medium low medallion bar.

PM later this afternoon as a reminder and I'll send you some better pictures from straight on and directly behind.

 

Went thru the same dilema on my 09, hope these help some give you some perspective

 

Good pics Rooke. Looks like we have the exact same setup, including the same luggage rack. I've been very happy with this setup.

 

Rooke and FB,

Thanks for the pics. That is the kind of look I am going for. Do either of you remember the part number for the back rest and bar? Does that backrest have 1 mounting hole in the top center and a bracket on the bottom?

 

Your welcome!

It's a great looking setup. Much "tighter look" for the bike than the one you typically see on fatboys.
