Drivers Backrest
Can you guys make me smarter on the drivers backrests?
It looks like there are two basic styles for the touring bikes, one with the two "poles" that squeeze together (Comfort Stitch Rider Backrest Kit Part Number 52572-09A) to fit in the mounting kit, and another style with a flat bar to fit the seat (Street Glide Style Adjustable Rider Backrest Part Number 52546-09A).
Will the street glide fit the same mounting part (Rider Backrest Mounting Kit Part Number 52589-09A)? Which one should I choose?

There's a stationary one and there's an adjustable one. The adjustable has a bracket that mounts to the fender via the two "solo seat" mounting bolts. It has a gas strut and a thumb lever that mounts below the seat on the left side to allow you to recline the backrest on the fly.

I put the adjustable one on and im thinking now it was overkill, once i got it where i wanted it i havent moved it since. i may be wrong but my opinion
