Rider Backrest
Just bought the HD rider backrest and installed it. First it had to be one of the easiest installs ever, clear instructions and no problems. It really only took 10 minutes. I didn't get a chance to test it out, but starting Saturday I am riding to Michigan, New Jersey and New York, so I will get a real good test.
Here is the part # 51631-09A and a pic .
Here is the kit you will also need:
52589-09
Required to install rider backrest on '09-later Touring models (except FLHTCUTG).
MSRP US $29.95

Loved mine once the adjustments were made. Wifie does not like it beacuse she claims she feels "confined" with it in place. I remove with 2up but use regularly when solo. Enjoy and ride safe

Same here. I leave it on all the time solo and remove when the wife rides. Works great. I think this is probably the best thing I have added to my bikes

I put on an adjustable rider backrest this past winter too. I got a helluva deal on a new kit off ebay (paid $10 more than my neighbor who bought a used regular backrest). Only time I took it off was when it was sitting in the parking lot at the hotel in Wisconsin Dells a few weeks back as I didn't want it to grow legs overnight. Wife hasn't been on the bike yet this year so I'm not sure if it will come off when she rides or not. I'm guessing it will come off.
