    • CVO1: 2015 Street Glide CVO
Backrest for 2015 solo seat
« on: April 17, 2015, 12:24:37 PM »

I have bought an aftermarket backrest for my 2015 cvo streetglide, and thought I would rate it for anyone thinking about buying one.  I bought it without the pad. I bought the pad from Harley to match the seat. The backrest bracket cost me $136 delivered. It took about 3 weeks for it to arrive. It mounts very easily under the seat mounting screws. It is a two piece bracket so the top part with the pad can be removed while leaving the bottom mounted to the bike. The positioning of it is pretty good for my normal seating position. It is black powder coated. I thought the back view of it needed something so I put a screamin eagle medallion on it. It definitely  has some flex to it so it is not ridged on the back. On a scale of 1 - 10 I would give it an 8 . I am not sure how many will be available from BadBoyz. I contacted George at info@badboyzrideforlife.com.

Hey 15CVOSG.... I looked up that site as well but could not locate the unit shown here, I see the one with backrest pad.  Did you locate the unit without, and if so please share. I too have been eyeballing this for sometime and certainly will acquire one direct.
please share.

 Thought I would share that Grasshopper is certainly the way to go with the these backrest. I spoke with Lonnie @ Grasshopper yesterday and the backrest w/o the pad is only 50.00 shipped.  With the pad is 95.00.   The other individual who is selling on the forums and FB is reselling and making a serious profit vs sharing with others here where to buy direct.

I've got one that I'll sell. Has the pad. I wanted something that I could lean back on. This things bends, other wise it would be pretty good. I thought about welding a steel reinforcement to it but never found the time.
I got my backrest from Seth at Auto Original. Not perfect but I can really lay back on that thing w/no worries.

Just an update .. Spoke with Lonnie at Grasshopper ... this other website badboyzrideforlife is working with Lonnie. he has put time and funds into the re-designing of this backrest to be more stable so there is no flex as some have stated ... so badboyzrideforlife will soon be getting exclusive rights to the cvo version of this backrest ... Lonnie stated he is a member of this forum and l guess will be coming on the board to confirm the info....

Hmmm, does that mean the ones you buy now from either company will be the "bendy" ones?, if so how long before badboyz brings out the stronger version.... which it should have been in the first place  ???
