I have the HD Adjustable Back Rest, love it, would not have anything else.
A small gas shock pushes it into your back to the limit that you choose when you hold down the lever, all on the fly. Folds down forward to ease passenger entry/exit if needed.
Why pull over and line up holes and such to adjust your backrest when you can make unlimited amounts of adjustments to your liking on the fly? I admit, I generally leave it alone, but on occasion if I feel the need for whatever reason (Long trip, etc.) it is great to have the adjustable feature.

I agree; have the same on my '09. At about 60k (have 80k now) miles the gas shock wore out and I found the OEM who stocks them; I replaced the gas shock and its like new again.
