I have a 2008 XL 883 Sportster. Does anyone make a backrest for the driver that will fit the stock drivers seat. Thanks.

 

I haven't ever seen one,,,you got back pain ?
A common fix Is pull back risers that let you sit up a bit more.
I had a ton of pain when I first got mine,,

The stock seat felt like I had a brick under my tail bone.
A Mustang vintage solo 12.5" wide cured that.

My hands would go numb.
Foam grip wraps added diameter and cured that.

I was getting a sore neck.
I rotated the bars back 1" and cured that.

Proper hydration Is key and I now have a Kidney belt
for long rides,,works great.

 

Thank you. I really think changing the seat with a backrest is the best thing to do.

 

I bought the Mustang Solo Seat after a very qualified seat maker said the HD pan was inadequate to install a backrest.

 

Try googling protac on the web. Not at my computer so not sure if that's right but he makes solo backrests for all types of bikes. Need to call him and see if he makes one for your year and model

 

Thanks to all. I will try protac..

 

Just put one on my bike from protac, cost was $140 with shipping. I love it so far, makes a world of difference on a ride.

 

I went with the mustang wide with backrest... Just got it Friday and well havent really got to try it out much but from my quick test ride I am going to love it...

 

Thanks everyone for your input on the backrest. Much appreciated.

 

thanks for your reply. it looks like it attaches to the fender rail, correct. looks similar to one i put on a Springer from Kuryakan. take the factory bolts out and in stall with new longer bolts. is this about right.
