Just wondering if my rider backrest from my 2002 Road King will fit on a 2018 Triglide, this backrest is the one that is gold in color and can't adjust on the fly, the backrest has 2 prongs that you squeeze together to put it on thru the slot in the seat.

I know harley tells you it won't fit but have seen videos of people installing them on their 2014, 2015 and so on, can't seem to find any install for the 2018 and since mine is for a 2002 it might not work but hoping it will that is why the question for the experts.

Just found out from J & S jacks that there is a retro fit for the trike jack which is $99.99 plus shipping both ways, got the phone call and a email from them since my jack is for 2016 and below, they ship it to you, put the kit on and ship back the old stuff you took off, just thought I would let people know this and I think some already do, but don't hurt to let people know again.

Thanks for the reply FuzzyWuzhe, I don't think it will work, seen videos and it does work, but on mine I have a clip nut and without looking at a 2018 I won't know if it works or not, the videos I seen had the front mounting bracket more than likely like what you had, one thing about if it doesn't work at least the mounting bracket is only 47 dollars to buy to get the front mounting bracket and maybe I can just buy the front mounting bracket, don't know for sure, at least this is the cheap part, it's the back rest that costs alot of money.
