Default OH my, why did I wait!!!
After riding all weekend last night I stopped up to the local HD deal and got a driver backrest.
OH MY why did I wait? Best $200 bucks I spent. Only road 70 miles tonight but I'm just so pissed that I was so CHEAP not to get one before.

If you thinking about one, didn't think just get it!!!

All that is holding me up is deciding between the fully adjustable or fixed mount.

I went with the fixed backrest because the guys I ride with never move theirs

Here is my seat and backrest

I have the fixed mount. It's a small CVO backrest.Of all the money I've spent on mods, this was the best money spent!
