Default Oh, For my Backrest!

So this past December I became the very very proud owner of a 2013 FLHTK Anniversary Limited. I've been able to put around 2900 miles on her. Only one complaint. Due to my messed-up back, a backrest is a must for long rides. Unfortunately, none available to match the Anniversary seat. The plain black backrest that I retained from my '09 Ultra, just didn't look right, so off to Kingston, WA and "Rich's Custom Seats". Here is the result. BAM... No more issues! Whatta' ya think?

Wow, very nice. I have terrible back problems from years of jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft in the Army. Have a removable backrest on my Mustang seat, but it doesn't look nothing like yours. Yours looks great. Congrats on the bike and new seat...

Gotta love those custom experts - sweet job + networking = business boom.

Nice seat & backrest.
