I have been asked to add a backrest on my bike. Lately I have seen them used for 250 -275 and new for 259, plus mounting hardware. 170+ is what the Show Chrome is running. Just wondering if it was in use around here and how they compare to the OEM one, otherwise might try for an Ultimate seat with a backrest, or OEM backrest then the seat for me lol.

I have the Show Chrome and the height of the pad can be adjusted up and down in 3 position. The OEM is lower and can only be raised by buying an aftermarket riser.

Thanks for the fast reply, saw a few reviews with fitting issues. So I had to ask you guys, finally registered on a forum.

Link to a thread and my Show Chrome back rest install. I still think it one of my best mods.
