08 Ultra backrest

What is the best backrest to put on an ultra and will itgo on and off easily or do you have to remove some hardware to get it off. I want to be able to remove the detach tourpac, backrest and change the seat fairly easy when riding solo. Is this a pipe dream?

You can get one of the non adjustable HD rider backrest and it's not to bad for on/off. 2 nuts hold it on and then you can go solo.

I have the Hd non adjustable backrest, and you don't need to remove any bolts to take it off, providing you are using a seat that will allow you to keep the inner support bracket in place.
To help speed up the whole process, take the seat strap off completely and leave it off and buy a thumb screw to replace the screw on the back of the seat.

I am using a adjustable back rest. Goes on and off in seconds, ok a min... I use it solo and take it off when the wife rides with me. Pull the lock and off it comes or goes on.
