Whatever you choose, any drivers backrest will be one thousand times better than without one.
I rode a Sporty with forward controls and drag bars for 18 years. I bought my EG used and spent all of 85 bucks on a chinese drivers backrest. (I always try and buy OEM when possible, but these things run in excess of 400 bucks sometimes and I just wanted to try it.)
Oh my gawd, its like going from a wooden school desk to a stuffed sofa seat.
I have a Grasshopper backrest fairly new I will sell you for $50.00 plus the ride! Had it on my King but now have a SG that came with a backrest! They are pretty good inexpensive backrests and I was happy with it and for the price you will be happy! PM if interested!
