Default Preferred Backrest?

I have a 2020 Road Glide and am looking for a nice "passenger" backrest.....Any preferences/vendors?

Thanks

H-D Adjustable Back Rest. You can adjust the forward/aft position while riding just by a pull on the lever. It also adjust in height about 2”. When you do not want it on you just remove it the backrest itself by pressing a latch and the mount remains under the seat. I have been running backrest for over 35 years on big bikes and this is the best I have ever had.

Another vote for the Harley adjustable. Pricey but you won't find anything better!

Oh that’s different. Some buddies have the docking hardware and they put on one that has a rack behind the passenger backrest. That way you can remove when you want

I like this one. A bit spendy though.

Ouch. The pad isn’t even included for that price. I’m looking for something a bit cheaper with black hardware to match the bike.

You have a 2020 and worried about a few bucks, c'mon man.

I know, but I don’t get a penny more for the backrest when I sell it. I don’t have a passenger very often, so throwing a couple hundred dollars away doesn’t make sense to me.
