Detachable should be just as "Secure"
Detachable means somebody can steal It,,unless It's got a lock,,
HD has all that stuff,,
J&P Cycles has a broad selection,,
Drag specialties,,,
Detachable is as secure as solid, just easier to remove. Comfort is more in the seat than the backrest, however, a taller backrest may feel better, or more secure to a passenger.
If it's for your Sporty - not alot of choices for comfort - mostly low bars/pads for added passenger security. If you go w/removeable HD - get the locking mechanism which replaces one of the catches. Has a key so it can't be as easily removed. Good luck w/your search.
53545-95 - Detachable Chrome Sideplates
52739-83 - Low Upright Bar & Shield
52412-79A - Low Back Rest Pad Embossed BAr & Shield Logo
53899-02 - Chrome Sport 4 Bar Luggage Rack
Found an auction for all this at $200. I think I could have made out better if I had more patience, but who knows if i would have ended up with every item I would have picked at retail.
As long as this thing isnt superglued together when I get it im gonna be really excited.
Bought the docking hardware from the dealership, didnt really find any steals on that. (53528-95B w/o saddlebags)
