Mine works great. I never thought I'd use one till I got my Road King with apes. Without the backrest and windshield I noticed more muscle usage and fatigue on longer rides. Shorter rides I can go without. I like having the option to use them when I want them.

If you had my back you would have to have a back rest. The new adjustable back rest came with my Ultra and it is sweet.
