Picked mine up Saturday at the Denver Motorcycle Show and Swap Meet.  Visited w/Dan - great guy - great product.  Very nice quality workmanship and materials.  I will try it on the bike tonight and take some photos if time allows.

Picked up new backrest from Bitchn Stichn last Saturday and now on bike.  Fit was tight due to the relatively thick plastic seat tab (not alot of extra threads on the seat mounting studs) but seems sufficient.  Will probably settle in with time.  Here is a picture - have several but not sure how to post multiple pics?

Picked mine up Tuesday. It went on easy on my bike. I rode around with it on Tuesday and what a great job Dan did. It feels great and will extend my riding day. Having trouble trying to post pictures.

Same bike with the plastic seat tab?  I was just able (with some effort) get the knob started on the last post.  Then I tightened both with pliers.  Hopefully it will be easier to take off/on with time.

Same bike 2013 CVO Road King. Dan told me that you were having a issue with the plastic and that finally got it to work. What do you think of the back rest?

The back rest is just exactly what I wanted.  Very adjustable - fore/aft and also tilts to conform to your back. The right size, no seat modifications required, can be removed easily, folds down for easier mount/dismount, great workmanship/materials and looks good on the bike!  Hopefully the weather will straighten out a bit so I can put some miles on it. Supposed to snow again this weekend.

Thats good. I am on the other side of the hill from you. I am here in Arvada. Too bad it is going to be bad weather this weekend I too would like to put on some miles.

Thanks SGME9 and dthies for pioneering in the installation of a driver back rest on our SERK '13!!!
Looks really great and I definitively want one too.
But I'm wondering about the leather finish of the seats for the French bikes, looking at the web site it seems to be quite different from yours.

Your thoughts about this JJAA?
How can I order a driver back rest that matches the stock seats leather finish? Any ideas?
