Driver Backrest

Have '08 Ultra 105 edition with stock seat. Motor company doesn't make a special driver backrest for the 105. What would you guys recommend for a driver back rest to match up? Should I also get adjustable or static backrest?

Thanks for your thoughts

Get the adjustable... it's worth the extra few bucks and it is very comfortable.&nbsp\\; 6 back surgeries and it is incredibly helpful!&nbsp\\; I'm more comfortable on my bike than in my Suburban!&nbsp\\; Until it rains or snows...

Oh... If you double space after a period you get the slashy things.&nbsp\\; If you do not, you don't. Perhaps?

Most of the backrests will match pretty well.&nbsp\\; Get the adjustable, its worth it.

I bent the back tabs on the mount and added washers to the front thus raising the whole thing abit as the new 08 seat seems thicker than in the past and it is now easier to install and remove the backrest.
