guys with riders backrest
I am wondering for those of you that use a backrest do you have the adjustable backrest or just the standard one? I am in the market for one and wondering if the adjustable is worth the extra coin?
thanks in advance,
Jason

I have only used the adjustable backrest, both on current EGC and previous RG. I think it is the only way to go.
Friend has the fixed one on his 07 Ultra and he is happy with his but occasionally complains about not not being adjustable on long ride.

Just got the adj. for the RKC. Nothing to compare it to, but I sure like this one. Sometimes I push it back so there's almost no support, other times I set it full-on. I'd recommend it.

Adjustable all the way. It's so nice to be able to move it a bit every couple hundred miles. Now if you'll never do long days, maybe the fixed one would work for you.

The regular one has worked just fine for me for the past decade...Set it and forget it works with me. One of my cars has 6 way seats. I rarely ever move them. If my seat does get moved, I usually hit the memory button and move it back to the way it was before.

I've used the 'standard' one on three bikes.
Once it's adjusted to a comfortable position, I never think about it anymore.
Would hate to be without something back there though.
Besides, you can't use the adjustible one with mid-frame air deflecters.
