The Tallboy #52099-08 seat notes say you cannot use a backrest on a 2008 model. The #52976-05 & #52975-05 ones for the 1997-2007 models CAN use a backrest. I do wish my 2008 Street Glide Tallboy seat could use one, I would have one if so.

If you have a Ultra with the stock comfort stitch seat and replace it with the tallboy seat either 52622-03A or 52572-03 will work.
