Default Adj. backrest lever

I just got a adjustable backrest for my SG and the lever that comes with it is one ugly POS.

Does anyone know if the Ultra's lever will work with it ?

Sounds like I got the SG model for my ultra I love the ability to adjust my backrest, but like you, the adjustment controller is butt ugly. I wanted to subscribe to this in case there's a better looking piece out there. Here's what mine looks like mounted per the instructions.

Same one I got for my '09 Ultra aside it being hidden by the heat shields.
