Question Adjustable backrest lever
I bought a used adjustable rider backrest, and it has the old style lever with the cup. It hits the head and rocker cover on my 25 ultra. Got the backrest adjusted where I want but would like to adjust it on long trips. Does anyone know where to get a newer style lever or have a hack to replace it. I looked through fleabay and will continue to watch them.

Its not available separately from HD (of course not)
