Didn't know how the wife would take gettin some Harley goodies for Christmas but she was really wanting one of these....A new Adjustable Rider Backrest.......just installed..........This should help with the long hauls.... we shall see

 

I can vouch for the back rest. She will see a huge difference in her sitting position and the ride. Having the back supported has allowed me to relax and be more comfortable.

thanks skeet,,,,,,got one on my UC and it sure helps on the long trips....
I've used her tri several times and it should be a big improvement.........

 

Plus with female arms, short by birth, the back rest helps with the reach also, I set my fully forward then back just a little.

 

I got one of those slip over backrest cover/pouches by Bone Mountain. Nice for putting maps etc w/out having to get into the tourpak to retrieve.

 

@Skeet7373..my male arms aren't very long either. I took your input and bought the the same setup. So much more comfortable.
