Default Harley backrest on Corbin seat
Thinking about getting a Corbin dual seat to replace stock Harley seat on my StreetGlide. Will the Harley rider backrest fit on the Corbin seat?

Corbin has a unique backrest mount built into their seat. Only Corbing backrests will work.

If you like the back rest order it with your seat,I didn't then had to order one and wait even longer. The back rest is a must have option ..

No it wont fit. The HD backrest post is flat and wide. The Corbin is a square tube design.

eBay has several suppliers who sell square tube backrests that'll fit Corbin 5/8” receivers. Never bought one but they must sell a bunch given their prices vs Corbin.

The short Harley quik connect backrest will not work with the Corban but the "tall" one will. At least on my 07' that is the case.

Excuse me, I was referring to the "passenger" backrest.
