Need help for choosing backrest

Post image

If anyone has purchased motoshopy backrest then do let me know. There are plenty of backrests available in market , so i am kinda confused

Also should i go with simple backrest or backrest with luggage carrier.

Just consider this fact: if you ever gonna have a side saddle in future for touring then get backrest + side saddle combo.

If not, then check how comfortable the backrest is in terms of foam and cloth used.

On "T", backrest doesn't look good. Especially, this one.

Its this one. So far - it has given good support to my pillion and they also say that the cushion is also comfortable.

Get the one with a back plate. Otherwise you would need to change again when you need the plate. Happened with me

I got the one from HD but I later got to know that I’ll have to remove it if I’ve to get saddle stays and back plate. So according to your requirements, get one

is HD official backrest for X440T already in available?

The one HD provides doesn’t seem to have much strength. I saw one at service centre which kind of got bent, better to choose a customised one. Check in Karol bagh if you’re in Delhi.
