Default 2010 Drivers Backrest

Harley-Davidson Street Glide Rider Backrest. 51631-09A

I have the bracket that fits this Drivers backrest but I cant seem to find the actual backrest that slides into that bracket by itself. I dont wanna pay 150-170$ for the pad and the mounting kit when all i need is the pad that slides into that bracket. Any ideas guys? Are these adjustable. The bracket was given to me.

Thanks Jon

That is the back rest part #. The bracket is sold separately.

It was sold separately when I bought mine. Maybe they changed it but the instructions clearly say the bracket is sold separately.

The one with 2 bars and a spring holding them apart is the standard non adjustable HD type backrest.

Your buddies sounds like it could be an aftermarket backrest like a Mustang. http://www.mustangseats.com/Product/...vidson-FLTFLHT

Or maybe the HD adjustable backrest http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US
