I think a backrest is one of the best buys for a functional accessories.

 

I second that. Got mine yesterday, no more back pain.

 

I feel uncomfortable with out it. Unless my sweetie is on board.... Then I have the breast.. I mean the BEST back support available.

 

I sorta like my bestrest.....I dont lik eit becasue I feel it push be too far forward. I'm a BIG guy 6'1" 340lbs, and I feel like I'm sitting on the tank when I use it, but it sure feel good though

I bought and put mine on a week or two ago. Best thing I ever did.

 

I know this has probably been asked 100 times in past, but I am looking for a good backrest for my '06 RKC. Are any of the ones HD sells good?

 

I rode my buddy's '03 RK with a rider backrest & now one for my '06 RK is on order. I couldn't believe how nice they were until I rode w/ one.

 

Stupid questions:

I just noticed the slot on seat of my Street Glide. Apparently you can slip a backrest into there? If so, is there other hardware required? What is the procedure for installing the backrest?

 

Gary,
Yes there is a bracket at the bottom of the backrest that has to be mounted to the bike under the seat. If you buy a new setup, everything you need will come with the backrest. The seat has to be removed.
