Im searching for and can't figure out if someone makes a driver backrest for the stock touring seats that fold down foward... I use to have a mustang seat and the backrest folded down..and i can't tell from pictures if the harley adjustable backrest folds down...the one with the cable. If anyone knows of one please let me know. Thanks
OP - Yes the HD Adjustable folds forward to help passenger mounting. It's spring loaded assist, so it goes back to the position you had it in before folding forward.
The regular style Harley backrest folds down too. 2 springs that help pop it back into place.
I don't know the price comparisons, but I have no qualms recommending the regular style backrest.
You can oftentimes find them used as well.
the ultimate seats backrest is what your looking for, can be found on their website that works with stock Harley seats, not spring loaded, just fold it down and over and throw your leg over, then lift it back up behind you, and super comfy, adjustable and quick release https://ultimateseats.ca/harley-davi...iver_backrests
