Riders Backrest
I have a riders backrest on my 07 SG, it is adjusted all the way down, and still pokes up too
dog gone high, the bike has a stock StreetGlide seat, whith is lower that a Eglide cushon seat.
Has anyone done any modification on this backrest??
When I was looking for one I wanted the lowest on I cound find..
Really just wanted a butt stop to keep me from sliding back,
The thing looks hokey without the tourpac..
Thanks, I really enjoy the forum...

RE: Riders Backrest
I have the same backrest but it sits lower than that. I think there are three positions. Squeeze the two rods together as hard as you can and see if it goes down another notch.

RE: Riders Backrest
The only thing on the seat is a screw that adjust forward and backwards..
I adjusted it to where it's all the way back, but had to tweak it back a bit
farther.. but it still hits me too high..
I went to look and can't find a button, the lower adjustments and all the way down..
I wonder if you can remove the upholstering to see the frame and modify it?

I had to bend the two metal rods back a couple of degrees. Put it in a vise and put a pipe wrench on the rod and thighten the jaws as much as you can and then push down. Don't try turning the rod with the wrench. I said push down. It took three or four tries to get it right.
Hint; if you don't want your back rest stolen, put a small block of wood between the rods so you can't squish them together. Put a string on the block so you can pull it out.
