RE: Got my backrest today..........
I know this has probably been asked 100 times in past, but I am looking for a good backrest for my '06 RKC. Are any of the ones HD sells good?

I rode my buddy's '03 RK with a rider backrest & now one for my '06 RK is on order. I couldn't believe how nice they were until I rode w/ one.

Stupid questions:
I just noticed the slot on seat of my Street Glide. Apparently you can slip a backrest into there? If so, is there other hardware required? What is the procedure for installing the backrest?

Gary,
Yes there is a bracket at the bottom of the backrest that has to be mounted to the bike under the seat. If you buy a new setup, everything you need will come with the backrest. The seat has to be removed.
