I have the HD adjustable backrest and it works great.

I got the Harley adjustable when I had the stock seat and loved it. Got a Corbin with one, and once I got it adjusted properly, I love it even more.

Absolutely! I liked my backrest so much that I'm seriously considering putting all of the 2-up setup back onto my Ultra Classic. The expensive over rated Corbin Classic solo may come off for good shortly.

I wouldn't leave home without it, I ended up getting the non-adjustable HD, which is adjustable, just not on the fly

In the past I had lower back pain after riding. Long trips required that I keep a bottle of asprin in my saddlebags. I put on a HD backrest and never have backpain anymore. Tired butt yes, back pain no. Riding without a back rest is like having a sofa in your den without a back. Buy one today!

Wouldn't be without it ..... it's amazing how much more relaxed you feel while in the saddle ( the saddle on the bike that is ) !

I have the Mustang one and use it on any ride longer than a couple hours. It pulls right out and you wouldn't even know it had been there.

Gotta have one for the long rides.
I have the least expensive adjustable H-D one (52572-09A) because eventually I'll replace the seat... but it's a ways down on the priority list.
