Just saw This one in the classified section. I have one and love it. It will flip forward for your passenger to load up.

Highly recommend the HD adjustable backrest. Nice to be able to adjust on the fly.

I have recently tried a rider backrest and discovered it's not for me. Although it did give me support while riding, the next day after a 2 hour ride the previous day, my lower back was sore as if it were bruised. The only thing I can figure is the mild vibration of the bike and road bumps caused this soreness. I know plenty of riders love their backrest but I'm wondering if anyone one else has experienced soreness after riding with it for a few hours?

Love my backrest. Can ride all day without thinking about my sore back. Without it I can only go for about an hour before the soreness sets in.

It also makes backing up my bike lots easier with something to push against.

They snap on and off in just a couple seconds, and can be put in a saddle bag if you want your bike to look all cool when parked.
