Default Rider's backrest question
Hi,

I wanted to know if I can keep the passenger's handholds when installing either the HD nonadjustable backrest or a Grasshopper nonadjustable backrest for a 2016 tri glide?

Yep, it just installs on top of the grab rails, using the same two bolts.

Thank you for the replies. I spoke with a rep from Grasshopper and he stated the same.
