Default Rider Backrest for 2014 Street Glide suggestions

I am looking for ideas for a rider backrest for my 2014 Street Glide. I particularly want one that will fold forward. An adjustable backrest is an option also. I would appreciate any suggestions (perhaps pictures) or recommendations.

Look at the one sold by Mustang Seats. Easy install and it folds forward.

I went with the OEM. Comfort stitch or something like that. I won't say it's the best out there, but it works and folds forward

I have the HD adjustable. I like it and wouldn't be without it. Just know that it doesn't work with the hammock seat if you ever plan an upgrade.

I've got the OEM adjustable seat on my SGS, and it's the best I've owned yet on any bike. I love the ability to move it a little hear and there, or depending on the type of clothing I'm wearing (heated, waterproof gear mostly lately!!).

I also have the Sundowner seat, and the backrest fits both perfectly.

Cheers!

Ross

I am happy with my HD rider backrest. Very comfy and looks good. Folds forward when you dis-mount. However I like the look of the Mustang backrest. Would have bout it but was not sure that it fit on the oem SGS seat.

So the adjustable backrest and the sundowner go together? I have a 14 SGS and got the adjustable backrest mounted the went to install a new hammock and it doesnt fit. Luckily it was a buddies new seat. I didn't buy yet. But I need to upgrade the seat for the wife when we tour. I'm 5'7with 30"inseam. So I'm looking at the sundowner but want to make sure I can use the adjustable backrest.

Thanks.
