Backrest question

'12 street glide. Does anyone make a passenger backrest pad that just simply uses seat bolt? If not. Something super low and inexpensive. Going to use it one time.

Just asking.....

I presume you are referring to the fender seat screw? If you find something, sure hope she is worth it.

JT,

I also have a 12 street glide. I have been wanting a setup to tempt my wife to go on a few day ride with me but didn't want to spend a ton for the HD name on the parts for the passenger backrest and brackets.

This is what I just got in the mail. Waiting for it to warm up a bit to put it on, so can't give ya a review but maybe this will help..

Hope you have better luck with yours.
