Anyone out there know about an upcoming mounting system for backrest on an 08 ultra?&nbsp\\; I'm wondering if a new backrest is also in the picture?&nbsp\\; Thanks in advance.

The non-adjustable backrest just doesnt fit the 08s very well I couldnt get it to fit at all. I went to the adjustable&nbsp\\; and it fits perfect with a full range of adjustment.
