Man , I'm looking forward to getting these on now !! I ride most of the time solo and thought about putting a trunk with backrest on . I sure could use the extra room for my trips . Never used a backrest but I hear once you do . you'll never go without .

It's definitely something to consider . I would have to order the QR mount that mounts behind the solo seat I have but no big deal . I would have to have both mounts for when my wife joins me on the shorter trips . Thanks for passing that along !!

I have them on both my baggers and are good quality. If I was to do them over I’d get the LA Chopper bars for just the reason mentioned above. Pullback is a bit too much.

Yah , that's what got me to start the post . The pullback is 11" . Believe it or not I'm getting them for $40.00 .... really cheap and worth a try . If I don't like them I'll fall back to my Khromewerks . At least then I'll have the wiring and lines done , so the swap will be easy enough .
