What's your opinions on riders backrest? Which is a good one

 

I've been using a backrest for lots of years. I simply buy the Harley adjustable - has worked well for me.

 

+1 on the HD backrest. Theres just nothing aftermarket that can beat it.

 

Harley sells two "adjustable" Back Rests. The fancy one has a cable operated lever that allows adjustment. The one without the cable is also adjustable, but requires manually changing the mounting points and/or the Back Rest Pad itself. I have used, and presently use, the less expensive version. I love it. I can see no real advantage to the more expensive version.

 

 

I like the cable adjustable version, I tend to lean back more & more throughout the day. It came on my last bike and was one of the few things I was able to move to my new bike
I'm sure the other version would be fine once you adjust it to your liking.

Your back will like either one!

 

Put the expensive one on, not real crazy with the adjusting bracket any secrets?

 

+1 for the "on the fly" adjustable system. On long rides I can easily change the position of the backrest without slowing down. I have a bad lower back, and the ability to change rider position throughout the ride is well worth the extra expense.

 

I have had the rider adjustable one for over a year, but I haven't gotten around to mounting the cable adjuster. Now I lost it in my garage somewhere, so, I guess technically, it is the non-adjustable one now.

 

Have the least expensive. Love it. Really helps the back. Do not ride without it.
