Thought I'd toss this at the group... When riding solo I absolutely enjoy riding with my Harley quick disconnect back rest (21' Tri-Glide, I ride with a Air Zeppelin seat and Butt Buffer sheepskin).
However, when two-up, the Harley backrest (seems to be all of them) are wide (great for me) but causes my wife to have to sit a bit awkwardly to "get around" the backrest (not so great for her).
Riding sans backrest is an option, but for long distances I'd like to utilize the backrest (particularly using the highway pegs).
Anybody use/discover an aftermarket backrest that is less wide AND can utilize the stock Harley quick disconnect mounting option?
It ain't worth going custom to fabricate, IMO... I've considered DK's passenger floorboard extensions to help too. Not a priority, but I'd thought I'd ask to see if anybody has been down this road and come up with a solution.
