I am sure Dan will make your backrest match if you want him too. I am in the user test phase of this and if it all works out I will have a new cover made.

But I'm wondering about the leather finish of the seats.
Your thoughts about this JJAA?
How can I order a driver back rest that matches the stock seats leather finish? Any ideas?

PM sent, we'll have to meet. :drink:

Denix, I have the same seat as you do.

Looking at your bike's passenger back rest and the one on the french HD web site I see a difference. Did you already change yours?

His seat and back rest are the Anniversary color CVO Road King style.  It is different from the seat that comes on the CVO Road King in the other two colors.

Oh! That's an important point. I ordered the anniversary model, so the passenger back rest will be the same as dthies' one. Right?
I haven't noticed the difference before you mentioned it. Thanks a lot.

The seat and pillion and passenger back rest will be just like Lunkers in this thread minus the rider backrest.

last pic

In you last pic I see the driver backrest fixed using two screws that are tighten by hand.
How rigid or strong is that type of mount.
I mean there are only two screws located in a line perpendicular to the direction of the effort. "Was that English ? !!!!!"
I mean when you really lean on the backrest, does it stay in position ? No inclination to the rear?
I'm afraid the rear fender metal sheet could be damaged over time. I would have add a third point to support the effort, and with no screw.
Like a T form.
What's your experience since you use it?
I would like to know before I place an order. Thanks.

This two point design is use by Bitchen Stichen for his other back rests and I have not heard of any issues. The two screws have to put on tight so you do not get any  movement. I had my hand tighten nuts cut by a local machine shop so I can put a wrench on them to make sure they are good and tight.

Hi - this is Doug in Palisade.  So did you just take the "knurled" knobs to a machine shop and have them alterered?  Hexagonal?  Size?
