Default Road Glide Backrest

I just got a used 05 Road Glide. Tool it on a nice 250 mile trip yesterday and my girlfriend decided that she needs a backrest. Any suggestions? I need a good balance of cool looking cost effective and comfortable. Thanks

are you gonna be doing some longer trips? concider a tourpak, the chopped looks cooler than the king (imo) and with a bag strapped to the top me and the girl are good for weeks on the road. if longer trips aren't in your plans then a simple backrest from hd with a detatchable luggage rack may be the way to go.

+1 on the Detachable back rest with luggage rack. About $500 cheaper than the King Tour Pack if you go new. There's always fleabay?
