DJ my wife likes her back rest has the studs in it like her does. Yes there is a little flex in ti but not to bad.

 

DJ,
I've got one on my '14 RK, you can see it in my sig pic. It works just fine for me, and you can remove the backrest and stuff it in your bags, as it's just a bayonet-type mount. There's about an inch or so forward/back adjustment in the mounting bracket. Mine is set all the way back, right in line with the back of the stock seat. Cost was 140 bucks from the manufacturer.

 

A stuffed duffel bag budgied to the passenger seat ............................. seriously!

 

That is the Grasshopper, which is the same as the link posted a few posts higher. Interestingly, that is $5 less with free shipping though.

 

Think my grasshopper was $70, eBay, was OK, but got a mustang for a little more adjustment, thumb screw

 

I ordered the Grasshopper. I figure it will be better than nothing, and if I upgrade I'll likely do a whole seat and then swap the backrest then if needed.

 

I bought my Kuryakyn back rest from Amazon.com. Was $152.00 shipped.
Great back rest. Comes with the mounting hard ware.

 

For God's sakes my man....It's a 15' Road Glide. Kinda late in the game for bein' a cheapskate!!!

 

Assuming you were aiming that at me, I have a Road King, not a Glide. (I want a Road Glide Ultra though, someday).

You know how it goes, too many irons in the fire, yada yada yada. Gotta save money somewhere.

 

check your local craigslist. I replied to your pm.
