Driver Back Rest -- WOW!!! 4 Years ago  
I got my driver back rest put on today (FireHouse Customs) . It was a piece of cake to install, and the difference is amazing. I did not think it would help much, as I have a bad back, and thought I was destined to never take a long ride. But I now feel as though I have many long trips just waiting in line for me. I am going on a roadtrip next weekend, so that will be the first test.

Anyway, highly recommend a backrest. You will wonder why you ever did without.

I agree. I purchased my back rest from them and it's well worth the price.

I have the Ultimate seat with drivers back rest, the back rest has made a world of difference on the longer rides, its amazing how much more relaxed on the bike you are.

Yea... my sig pic barely shows it, but I also have the firehouse studded back rest and it is really worth the money. I have to get an updated pic at some point...

Re:Driver Back Rest -- WOW!!! 4 Years ago  
I've thought of getting the firehouse backrest for a 1400 mile trip I have coming up! Like the price, as far as backrests are concerned, but it looks a little to far forward. Can anyone comment on that? I'm 6'3'' so I'm a little hesitant! I still wish it were adjustable though!
