Default back rest/bracket question

Does anybody know if the back rest I currently have on my 2013 Ultra Classic will fit on a 2017 Ultra Limited? It's the bracket more so than the actual back rest that I am wondering about.

for 2014 they changed the frame mount, the new backrest kit adds a L bracket that reaches forward to a hole about an inch or two forward. when i used my 07 rest on my 15 harley didn't sell the L bracket separately i found one similar at the hardware store and drilled an extra hole.

If you are looking to part with the bracket I'd be interested in purchasing it if it will work with my backrest and price is reasonable. PM me if you want to sell it.

I just installed a backrest on my 2017 RGS. It was identical to the one I used on my 2004 Road King. Just FYI.

You can go to the HD website and pick out the back rest that you currently have and cross reference on the fitment tab and it will show you what bikes it fits.

Thanks for the replies, Holeshot to be honest I'm probably a year away from trading this bike in. When I do I'll probably go with the 2018 model.
