What rider back rest are you using? I was looking at the HD comfort stitch rider bac rest

I had a comfort stitch rider backrest when I was running the stock seat on my '15 SGS. I told the parts guy at the dealership that I wanted a backrest that matched the seat and he said the pattern was the comfort stitch, so that's what I bought.

Get the adjustable one, one of the best things I've purchased for the bike. Here's links off the HD site, however they can be found cheaper in other stores or even in great condition off a forum or ebay.

So far it is working ok.

Just bought another Comfort Stitch rider backrest for my 2018 SGS. It's not a perfect match IMO, but it's not a bad match either, as they are both the Comfort Stitch pattern. However, it would have been nice if HD offered a rider backrest with blue stitching and perforations in the center to match the seat perfectly.

I went with changing the seat for a Mustang LowDown one-piece seat with a built-in backrest holder. I already had a Mustang backrest, and it fit right in perfectly. Great seat and good backrest! ...and the back seat is wide and comfy for the Ladies.

I bought the Harley adjustable but the key is I had the tech bend the bar at the angle about 25%. In its original design it sits you straight up. Now I’m able to lean back like a recliner. That with cruise, highway pegs, and 110hp I could take a nap while riding.
