Default Rider backrest....Love it!!!

Installed H-D adjustable rider backrest this weekend on my '05 RK with the sundowner seat. I'll I can say is I love it, my bad lower back thanks me! I Got to ride with it for the first time today and it feels soooo goood, I wish I'd of done it sooner! If you're on the fence about this upgrade, don't wait.

I've got a Saddlemens seat with the backrest and it may be the single best improvement I've made. Wouldn't ride without one now.
