Which riders backrest is comfy?
I currently have this one:
http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...01-5258309a--1
Its pretty hard and after a few miles gets uncomfortable. I find im always having pressure on it (always leaning back) and the pad is small and hard, so it gets to me after a bit.
Anyone have a similar experience, and can recommend a more comfy option?
Thank you.
PS, if it uses the same mount that would be a bonus

I had one like yours and liked it well enough - although it was best when I sat up straight! I now have the integrated backrest that came with my Mustang Wide Tripper Solo, and the combo is - for me - perfect.

I have the same one as yours, but in FLHX version. Works well and never experienced back soreness from it. Are you sure it's not something wrong w/your back (medically)...??

Another option would be to have it reupholstered. find someone local to you and take it by to see if they can change the material behind the cover.

I've had 3 different backrest's and none of them were comfortable until I bend them to make them fit me. I will have to say that the Day Tripper Wide Solo had the best one of them all but the seat not so much. I purchased a new Mustang backrest for my Mustang Sport Touring seat but I've had to bend the crap out of it but I know have it where I can use it all day long if necessary !
