Anyone using a different back rest? My wife wants something so she can actually lean up against it for a more comfortable ride. Any ideas? She loves to ride with me and I want her to be comfortable.

the small backrest in front of the tourpak works well for my gf.  The other day she was thinking it may be better if it was moved forward a couple inches but seems to work well on longer (500 or so mile) trips.

Actually when mounting my tour pak I noticed that it had two mounting positions. One forward and one back further. I mounted mine all the way back. Wife seems to like it.

There are a couple of other sissy bar accessories available with different pads if you don't want the tour pak. Take a look at Tri-County's website.

Sorry about that. You want to deal with Jenni there. She'll give you a 20% discount on parts. They're great to deal with. Here's the page with the backrests.

Well I couldn't decide on a backrest so called Jenni and ordered a tour pak.

Just bought a 2010 conV in crimson. The wife hated the stock backrest. Got two guys involved at my local dealer and we came up with the 14" pillion off a fatboy and a 9" backrest off a heritage. Both fit like a glove and the wife is much happier. The sissy bar is a full 6" taller than the stock, perfect for passengers. I just swap it to the small one or leave if off altogether when I ride solo...........
Now I just have to put passenger floorboards on it and she will be perfectly happy with the new ride......
