I've got a 2010 ultra classic with the hammock seat.

I'm reading conflicting threads regarding the ability to use the adjustable backrest with the hammock seat.

I've read there was an update in the design of the mount. Is that true?

Will it matter when the seat was made? If so, how do I find out when?

What should I look for?

God bless, Mike

 

I have a 2011 Street Glide that came with a hammock seat. It also came with the backrest. I think if your seat has the slot between the rider and passenger parts, then a backrest will fit.

 

I have read in other threads that there are two different models of the hammock seats. Pre Rushmore and post Rushmore. One or maybe both of the seats says that backrests will not fit. Although, some people on here said if you bend the bracket slightly it will fit. If you dig, you should be able to find more detailed info or sort out what I thought I read ha
