Backrest Question?? Set-up
Backrest Question?? Set-up
Sorry,
General question. I have an 09 EGS. OEM seat. Quick release/detachable back rest. Is there a way or product that will make it extend back about an extra inch to two inches. Wife is cramped, she wants more room rearward for her so she doesn't push me forward. Like on the Heritages you have more spacing and slant and more products. I dont want to by a pack set up to help out.

I have a 2010 streetglide. I bought the harley fully adjustable backrest. its a hundred dollars morre than the regular HD backrest. it has a gas shock on it and it can be adjusted to over 30 degrees. question: if you want something to push the back-rest back an inch or two isn't your wife going to be more cramped?
Skylee,
Sorry. Its her backrest. I dont have one for me (just like the picture). I would like to see something that reclines and PUSHES HER BACK A BIT. On the tourers with the rear luggage has the curve and sits back a bit.

No way that I know to move it back.
Thanks for the info. She likes the touring models and she stated she was a little more comfortable on the Heritage softail we had, I loved the Heritage also. Two up we kept bottoming out and dragging the floorboards all the time. The new bike, pictured has great suspension. Pros and cons to all. She is still trying to talk me into a tourer(full set up.)
