JonnyD, can you help me with some advice? I have a RK that I want to add a passenger seat, passenger back rest, and tail bag like yours. I have the same rider seat and backrest as you. What parts did you have to order? Thanks in advance.

One of the better add-ons I have made. Great on long rides. HD adjustable, up and down and back to front.

Wouldn't have another bike without one.

I wouldn't have a bike without a backrest. I'm getting a Corbin seat with a backrest next week. I may have an HD adjustable backrest and mount for sale next week

I too have the HD adjustable...I have tried riding without it....didnt realize just how much difference it makes...and how much I 'use' it when foot-pushing the bike back, ect. the only time it comes off now is when I remove the seat!

Pretty simple install. No drilling.

The best investment....The only time I remove mine is when I have the seat off for detailing or other work under it..other than that..I wont leave home without it!
