Read a lot of reviews on backrests and I see that some fold forward to ease access to passenger seat. My question is- do any of them slide out of the slot and go back in with no tools ? I ask because my wife likes to get on the RT on the drivers seat and then scooch back. Thanx!

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Are there any Back rests that fold forward or slip in/out readily?

Just so I'm clear,the oem rest,once released,would go back in and stay there without the clip? Be hard to raise the seat with her on it!
Not sure what you're asking here, but the seat backrest works this way. Installed, it folds forward to ease passenger mount or dismount. Also, you can remove and easily reinstall the backrest by opening the seat, pushing the retention clip to the side, and pulling the backrest up and out of the socket (first time is hard, you have to pull in an Upward/forward direction). Some folks remove the backrest and throw it in the frunk when riding double. It locks in place every time when installed. Does that clear it up?

"to prevent theft of a backrest"?? That's a new one for me. I didn't know that backrest get stolen. I have the Ultimate seat with backrest. It push and pull out really easy. It folds forward and can adjust the angle by hand. No tools needed. And the best part is that you can fill the tank without asking the wife to dismount (which by itself is a win/win situation)

You be surprised what folks will walk off with. If your truck has a backup camera in the tailgate you better lock it when leaving it alone. The world isn't what it used to be. I had Misty Mountain make my driver backrest sheepskin so the straps are locked under the driver backrest, you guessed it, to keep idle hands from doing the devils work.
If your wife is unable to climb over the backrest to get off the bike, then Woods suggestion is the best advice; at least when using the OEM seat and backrest.

I found the key to the OEM backrest was to angle the 2 mounting prongs toward the back while inserting the backrest into the seat. First couple of times it was hard, then eased up. Mine limbered up and now is pretty easy to use, getting it on and off. Hard part is reaching under and finding the latch while trying to pull the backrest.
