Default Rider backrest (2013) FLHTK
Looking to add a rider's backrest to my 2013 ultra limited, and all the listings show the bracket from 88-08. I've had plenty of touring bikes 2005-2011, and this is the first time I've had to buy the bracket.

Is there a different bracket available? The parts catalog did not show one for post 2008


Thanks!

So there's agreement that the bracket needed is the same as the one labeled for 88-08?

Under fitment the non-adjustable goes from 98-08 then skips to 13,14. The adjustable shows 98-08.

I think these are what you're looking for:

Edit to fix links.

Seems the Harley website might be drunk and need to go home.
