    Default rider backrest

    Have a BRP passenger backrest, does anyone know if anyone makes a drivers backrest that works with the 2015 F3S oem set up?

    I think Smoothrider does, I have not seen any others. Do you not like the BRP backrest?? I like mine, its adjustable.

    Thanks, The passenger one I have from brp no problems ,but I don't have one for the driver. Just wondering if there was any other options other than brp? Smooth Sypder looks like a combo of both not separate rest.

    I like the BRP driver backrest. It feels pretty good so far.

    I had purchased the BRP driver backrest. I liked it except that it pushed me too far forward. Did some modifications to the mounting bracket (pulled it back) and it is now more comfortable. The backrest bracket on my Road Glide has three different mounting positions.

    There is an adjustment you can make with the BRP F3 drivers backrest. There is a hidden screw that you can turn that will lean the backrest forward or back. It is pretty adjustable. You may be saying that there is no adjustment for up or down and that is what you had to modify.

    Is that screw inside the backrest? I saw that, but wasn't sure how it would adjust the backrest, or how to actually get to it to do the adjustment...
