Default Large backrest
I have a Roadking and am looking to see if anyone makes a large backrest that does not require a tour pack. I don't the extra storage but momma would like a larger back rest maybe with arm rests or a wrap around pad. Any ideas ?

I can only suggest picking up the latest parts catalog or search ebay or Google.

Mustang has a large backrest. I don't have a photo yet, but I just put it on my 2010 Road Glide Custom.
