Having a "rider" backrest turns a 300 mile per day bike into a 500 mile per day bike. It helps keep your back straight so there's less fatigue.Image

Nope, sorry. I screwed up on my pbucket acct. Let's see if I can redeem myself.

BTW, that's Steve McQueen's old biplane.

I have a backrest on my Road King Classic. Never thought I would want one. But I love it for long trips.

I got a driver's backrest for the same reason-back pain after longer rides. I must say that it has been one of the best investments I have made for the bike. Back pain is gone and it makes using the cruise pegs so much more enjoyable. I ordered mine from grasshopperltd.com for around $90. I would recommend them to anyone.

I didn't know he around that long ago, the plane looks like its from the 1920's or at least between the two world wars

i bought a mustang seat set - with backrest - amazing! the whole stem/pad comes out if i need it to, but it gives me great support!

highly recommend it!
