Any A/mkt backrests that are secured under the seat like the OEM?
My 2022 RTL is in but missing the usual components. The secure OEM backrest I ordered is back ordered and there is no estimate of when it will be available. Does anyone know of an aftermarket backrest that is secured under the seat like the OEM? I don't want one that can simply be pulled out without a fight. Thanks for your help.

It doesn't look like either the Utopia or the ShowChrome backrest gives you the security you're looking for.
One benefit to both aftermarket units, they come with a storage pouch for the passenger to use. The storage pouch for the Utopia is removable and converts to a purse. I like that a lot. The OEM one has no such ability.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

Good luck with getting your 2022 backrest. I ordered my 2021 backrest in February 2021 when I bought the bike. Delay. Delay. My back was killing me so cancelled the order and dealer wrote me a check as it had been part of the purchase of the bike.
Got desperate and ordered the ShowChrome as Utopia was backordered... did not care for the ShowChrome.
Ordered the Utopia.. ahhh…. just like the Utopias on my other bikes…. felt like home.
As for pulling it out.. I have to wiggle it a bit but it does finally come out…. Its not just a slick, quick jerk and its out… on mine anyway.

Very true. However, for the 2020+, the mount is redesigned for easy removal with no means of locking it in place.
