Default Back rest for 2016 Roadster

Anyone have any suggestions for a removable back rest for a 2016 Roadster?
My wife likes to ride every once in a while and the seat on the Roadster is pretty small and she would feel more comfortable with a back rest. I ride 99% of the time by myself to work and around and want something that is removable and not super expensive.
Thanks


Thanks for a great forum

Many options for non-detachable, but for detachable you will have to replace the turn signal stalks with the typical Sportster ones then you can buy the detachable set up from HD.

I was wondering if that would be the case, don't really want to switch out lights until I change to full LED, but this may give me the excuse to do that.
Thanks Switchback12

Harley offers a short sissy bar for the back that fits the roadster and they offer a pad for it.
I got the bar to bungee stuff on the seat but do not have the pad.
sorry you can see it better and the one pad that will fit on the build my Harley site

Here is a better pic it mounts between the struts and fender it is narrow so it limits the size of after market seats.

Thanks RRider. That looks like the solution I may go with. It’s small enough to leave on all the time and with a backrest the wife would like it.
do you happen to know the model number or have any specifics?
thanks so much
