Default Riders Backrest on eBay , request for buyers experience

Anyone out there bought one of these riders backrest off eBay could you comment on quality and ease of install. I assume they are not Harley product, but could be wrong ? Also do they come with every thing needed to install i.e. bracket for the specific model included (unlike the HD one which requires separate purchase. Just wondering what folks thought of product as I am shopping for a rider backrest to help with lower back issues.

Thanks in advance,

As far as the product on ebay you will have to ask the person selling the item. I will tell you this, You will want to buy the adjustable backrest. Each person likes it in a different spot. A little high or a little lower. Forward or back. Trust me its worth the money. Its not that much more when your talking about being comfortable.

just purchased and received that backrest. for the price it seems like a decent product. will install soon, but may not be riding still for a few weeks. height is adjustable and seat back has a set screw that allows some degree of adjustment. again, for the price it seems like it'll be adequate. once used I can advise better.

Looks like the HD backrest I have. All the brackets and parts seem to be the same.

Read the sellers feedback. Looks like every feedback he has is for selling that item. All positive except for one neutral comment out of the last 84 people that bought them. What can someone here tell you that the feedback can't?

I'm trying not to flame you man, but read the information the seller put on the listing. It answers all questions about hardware and installation.
