Rider backrest for Deluxe stock seat

I have no problem with the stock seat, I spent most of 10 hours in the saddle today, but the middle of back hurt pretty good on the second half of the trip. Is there anything available without changing my seat?

After my riding mate got one of these on his 2006 FLSTN Deluxe, I got one for my 2018 FLDE Deluxe. Fits both models. Best money I’ve ever spent for the same reason you’ve discovered: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Driver-Back...1610408?_ul=AU cheers!

I have a Grasshopper, works great.
My old Ultra had the HD adjustable (it was nice, flip a switch and adjust) but it was a lot more $$$.

Definitely try the Grasshopper. It is ridiculously inexpensive, and it makes for a low risk thing to try to get relief.

Mine did set me forward just a little, but a little tweaking on the bracket did the trick. It's also "springy." You can push back into into some to find that comfort zone.
