backrest
Greetings
I have a 2014 ultra limited and recently lost my passenger (human backrest lol).
So I'm in the market for a backrest but not sure where to start. The ones I have seen all appear to be short and not very effective. I am 6'2" and mostly upper body.
Can I get some input on backrests please.

Depends on the seat you have. I have a mustang touring seat which does not have an through opening between the driver and the passenger. I use pn 79559. If you do have an opening then you'd probably want the adjustable mustang backrest pn 79613.

that 79559 seems to be manual adjustable.
Not sure how I would refer to the other ones I was looking at. They have a cable so that I could adjust while riding ?

I have the HD adjustable backrest with the lever under the mid frame. I love it but in case you are thinking of moving to the Hammock anytime, it is not compatible with that seat. The hammock has its own backrest.
The model I have is adjustable in height as well as front to back positions. I'm 6-0 and have it set to its lowest position.

It looks pretty costly through HD.

The HD adjustable backrest, while a bit more expensive, does allow remote adjustment that I believe can be done while riding.
