Default Street Glide Seat and Adjustable Backrest
Anyone with a 09 and up Street Glide and stock seat use the adjustable backrest with no fitment issues?

I just did a tour pak detach kit on my 2010 Limited and want to put a Street Glide stock seat on it, but want to make sure the seat will work with the adjustable backrest.

Thanks,

Robert

Yep. Me and two buddies have that exact seat and backrest set up. Works great!

Guys, does the adjustable backrest push up on the seat? Both up and forward? I just got a SG seat today and put it on and while it does fit...it pushes up on the seat and causes it to 'deform' and spread the slit open even without the backrest in.

You have something wrong. I've never seen one do that...

I have the adjustable drivers backrest with the cable and lever. I actually cut the mount assembly and tig welded it back together to achieve a lower profile.
