I’ve ridden with a fixed Harley backrest on most of my touring bikes. You can adjust it just fine to work for you and then you don’t need to fiddle with it. It has 3 different forward and back mounting positions and a tilt screw in the pad itself. Simple to remove as well if you need to remove your seat.

Found a nice used one on Facebook Marketplace.
ebay was useless as it was all the cheap Chinese stuff. I just have trust issues with it. Was leaning towards Grasshopper, but I found the nice used one.

I found the adjustable Harley rest on ebay for less than half of a new one. I originally installed it for long rides, but its never been off the bike. you can go to Harleys website and get the part numbers and then search the numbers on ebay, that will filter out all the cheap stuff. .Keep looking they are out there.

Does anybody make a low back rest like the grasshopper that fits the adjustable Harley version? My HD rest is about 2 inches above where it needs to be when fully adjusted low. Want it to rest on top of the seat w/ no gap.
