I usually step on my floorboard, just like stepping into a stirrup, and swing my leg over the top of the backrest.

+1 for the HD adjustable backrest. The backrest was the best comfort item I have added to my bike.

Nothing like the Harley adjustable. Even works with my mustang seat and RJ's lowers.

Expensive, $300 but I think worth it.
