adjustable Backrest

Installed one yesterday on the EG. WOW... what a difference! I fractured my back several years ago and it occassionally gives me some real pain after riding. Not any more!

I love this thing!

I know what you're talking about Phil, once you use one, you don't leave home without it.

RE: adjustable Backrest

I had them install it before I picked up my bike last year. I would never have another harley without one now. I had a corbin with a backrest on my softail and that was awesome. My ultra is like sitting in a recliner.

Ride on!

RE: adjustable Backrest

LOL FLHTCU Rob [sm=icon_rofl.gif] I was thinking the same thing. A pic or some links would be good. I still have not bought my bike yet... was leaning towards a V-Rod now I'm leaning towards a RK Custom... I'll probably change my mind again before the summer.[sm=smiley13.gif]

RE: adjustable Backrest

Here ya go, Rob... The backrest is the standard HD adjustable made to match the comfort stitch stock seat on the 05 Glides. Retail is $360. I got a 15% discount due to a special sale... Here's some pics I took yesterday just before it rained. Enjoy!
