Ok, I'm getting older I admit it! I need a riders backrest for the Street Glide. I'm soliciting opinions on some options. I am "NOT" looking for an adjustable. Just a fixed easy on and off unit with a narrower height overall. I am not looking for a couch sized backrest. I like the longer width but much narrower height units. Suggestions on what your using? Thanks

 

I used H-D's pillow look backrest for a long time and liked it very well.

 

I have the plain jane harley rider backrest. Wont back the bike out of the garage without it

 

Mustang backrest.

I've recently (2 months ago) installed the standard HD rider backrest with the SG stitched pad. Works really well for me. Couldn't justify the expense for the adjustable. Removes easily for when I have a bag on the pillion, when I don't need the backrest.

 

Yep what he said. Installation is much easier than the H-D unit.

 

Looking for backrests and found this backrest made by a company called Grasshopper. Don't have it so I have no opinion, but the price seems right.

This was one of the first options added to my bike....I won't ride without it.

 

Hey Keithhu, does the mustang fold forward?

 

It actually folds back, so the backrest pad is horizontal. Its hard to explain, but the support doesnt move, just the backrest pivots to be horizontal
