I have the H-D adjustable backrest and love it. I rarely anymore ride without it, and I'm NOT a big guy (5'10"/160#, but I am 49 years old!). The backrest, IMO, adds comfort in places you wouldn't first think of. It actually makes it possible for me to relax my legs more than without it (if that makes any sense).

 

Has anyone installed it themselves? And if so was it difficult? How much was the mounting kit...and was it extra like all the other moco (****) parts?

 

i wont leave home without my Corbin backrest....riding bliss

 

1 thought comes to mind big guy!............. get a big woman!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've installed the H-D adjustable backrest. It's a piece of cake. The bracket comes with the kit.

 

i had to bend mine a little. i thought it pushed me up on the tank too far. after a little bending, it's just right and like most others said here, i won't take it off for nuthin'.

 

I have been dying to find out. I am 6'1" and weigh 350lbs. I am big. My wife is not small. I got the passenger back rest for her and she wont ride without it. I use her as my backrest. Here is MY question. When I have the rider adjustable backrest on. Do you think there will be enough room for her to be comfortable. And I already feel like I sit to close to the tank. Will the backrest really move me that much more forward? I take a lot of rides without her and was considering a mustang solo with backrest. But, the adjustable MOCO is cheaper to add and keep the stock seat. Please, let me know what your thoughts are. -PapaTravis

 

The adjustable moco ?? Is there any other backrest out thereI only know of HD'Sand Corbins I was looking for something for alittle cheeperandare there any that mounts on the outside of the seat?
thanks

If you don't want to go the expense of the back rest - give this a try - I have been using it for a few years now and it can extend my riding by HOURS - I got the black and it really does wonders for my lower back.
