Default 2012 Street Glide.. Small profile passenger back rest options?

I have a 2012 street glide... I've been trying to find a passenger backrest, my passenger and her cute little behind keeps sliding backwards off my stock seat because of it's angle.

I'm looking for a very small passenger backrest (all I have seen are large with big pillow backs, too tall and too wide)

I need something to just keep her from sliding off. Do you have any options? pics? part numbers?

thanks for any and all info guys!

I think this is the smallest one HD makes, it doesn't look all that bad.

51579-05


Fits Short Detachable Passenger Sissy Bar Upright P/N 52935-04, 52610-09 or 54248-09. Will not fit seats with tall passenger pillion pads. Pad height 6.5"; width 10.5".

Or, tell her to hang on tighter, velcro on her jeans and seat, superglue, they all work, also ... once she actually slides off, she'll figure out a way so it never happens again.

Check out some of the CVO backrest pads. They tend to run on the small side.

Ummmm, the passenger backrests are the same for the CVO as they are for the standard, as are the docking kits, the uprights' etc.

I think the back rest on my RG is about as short as they get

ummmmmm no there not. the cvo bikes use a short back rest and smaller pad while the SG & RG doesnt come with one. most people end up putting the standard height back rest on, including myself and now im looking for the shorter rest.

Make your own. Small piece of plywood, some foam, a little vinyl, & you get any size/shape you like. Did two for FXR's years ago, still have one.........
