Default Tour Pak Backrest

I am ordering the Ultra Tour Pak and was just wondering what Back Rest to order with that. What have most of you thought is most comfortable and/or best looking? I am between the Pillow Look and the Leather Road Zeppelin. All of your input is greatly appreciated. I will be ordering today.

Get the one that matches the seat, they all except maybe the zep feel the same.

I went with the full Anniversary Ultra Tour Pak. All back rests mount on the Tour Pak, should not have anything to do with what seat is on the bike. I plan on getting the Sun Ray eventually.

The anniversary backrest has the 105 crest in the middle. I mean you bought a anny model, and went with the anny. tourpak, why not bring it all together with the right backrest.

I have the regular anniversary sissy bar, but I was not aware that there is an anniversay back rest available for the tour pak. I guess I have to look into it more.

Easiest way is: When you order your TourPak tell the sales person you want the Baskrest to match your seat (that your going to get) Sun Ray...
