Default Riders Back Rest

I found 1 on the clearance rack at the dealer for 150.00 Man Is it nice, might even be Worth the 299.price tag Just to let you know that not all dealers are stealer's I have taken the scooter in for some warranty work and have always been treated very well and I did not buy the bike from them. But I do buy a lot of parts there.

You are not alone. I hate them as well. However, I have a buddy that would love one since he has back trouble. I don't and just find them terribly confining.

I would NOT be able to ride without those good Harley-Davidson back rest. I've had 4 baggers since 1986, all with back rest.
