How with that seat you have. I had my stock seats redone, used the spring seat rail and springer backrest.

My gf bought one from Amazon I think, for her '09 Deluxe
She loves it and it looks pretty good with the theme she's going for
I can snap a pic tonight if you need

Springer seat rail and backrest. It will bolt right up. They can be pretty expensive though.

Here you go
I wanna say she paid around $80
She's in camp until Sunday, I'll ask her next week where she got it.











I was going to build her one but she got it soo cheap I couldn't bother
The only "mod" she had to do was install slightly longer studs thru the fender for the thumb screws due to the added thickness of the backrest

I am tall and had a hard time finding a backrest that would not bump me up forward.

Here is a post I made about installing a Utopia Backrest. I am still very happy with it.

Corbin seats come with a good adjustable rider backrest. Expensive fix, but a good one.

Thats what I use.
Up until last year anyway you could still order the rail through your dealer. I don't remember about the pad though.
