Default '16 Tri Glide Drivers Backrest

Is there a recommendation for an after market drivers backrest? I would like to add one to my 2016 FLHTCUTG.

I agree with snipit. Mustang is the only way to go very easy to slip into the receiver and out. In my opinion the HD backrest with the two rods you have to squeeze together to get in is a pos.

I agree with the Mustang recommendation.

Another option that some folks are running, that they really like, is the Grasshopper backrest. I've been running one on one of my bikes for quite a few years and really like it, I have the one with the rear pocket, and like how it has some give to it when I lean back.

I have the HD non-adjustable mentioned above. I like it, but it is a PIA to remove and replace the few times I need to do so. I am just commenting in case the OP has a chance to get one, they work fine. An easier to operate brand would be better though.

BTW...the TriGlide takes the same backrest as all the touring bikes.
