Hey
I need some info about riders backrests for a Heritage Classic. Whats everyone using? Is there a backrest out there that mounts to the original seat without the need to buy a new seat?
Any info is appreciated.

Thanks!

 

looks comfy, if you're not worried about the way it looks.

 

His saddlebags/seat skirtwill hide the brackets. Even if they didn't I'd still put it on for the comfort.

 

Depends on your back problem, if that's the reason you need one. If you have pain in the lumbar region of your back I don't think that "Protac" support will do you much good. Another option is the "Bikers Friend" barrell bag--full support from lumbar up.

 

I use a FireHouse Custom backrest for my heritage. Fits with original seat and pillion. @ $115 without studs. Very comfortable but moves youforward an inch or two.

I was pretty lucky, looked everywhere for a rider's backrest for my FatBoy. Was heard bitching about it by a friend and he just made me one, Don't even know how he did it, but he said it only took about an hour, then another friend made a leather pad around it.

Check my sig link, looks and feels great. Must be easy to make, or have someone make.

Wish I'd have seen this post earlier. I took someone's recommendation on the Kurykan "Tombstone" bag. Just ordered it on the web. Supposedly has an integrated rider backrest; can only use it for 1 Up riding.

I only need it for 150+ mile rides so the bag may work fine...if it works.
