Just installed the drivers backrest tonight

Through Jesus Christ, I a sinner am saved. Not by my doing but through his doing by his sacrifice and Blood Shed on the Cross. His gift to all mankind that will only believe and accept him by Faith. Through his Death and Resurrection I am Saved by Grace and someday I will be with our Lord in Heaven forever.

I love my rider back rest. I have the HD stock rest that HD says will not fit on a Triglide; guess what, it does.
2016 Tri Glide Black and Silver, VIEDS, LRS, DK Comfort Lift, DK 2" Tank Lift Kit, Road Zepplin Seat, Black CVO mirrors, K&N Air Filter, Wards Fans, Khrome Werks 2+2 Wide Sweepers.
first item I installed before bringing the TG home. HD adjustable model.<br />
I've had backrest on all my touring bikes.
My dealer said either style would work the standard or the cable adjust model. Pic's of the install kit and backrest below. I did not purchase the model with the button and cable adjustment. I just purchased and installed the standard model.Originally Posted by bronxbill

The none adjustable will work it says so in 2017 parts catalog , but 2015 & 2016 catalogs say will not fit trikes.
I think that could be a possible typo but I don't know that to be true. That part of the trike frame has not changed at all near as I can tell on the 2017. I think the back firewall behind the back cylender has been changed a little for the coils now that there is 4 spark plugs instead of 2 on the Milwaukee 8. Also I think the motor mount brackets and exaust brackets may be different but the frame over all remained the same.

I just checked Harley's main web page parts search by year model. It shows the parts I originally showed above to fit the 2015 & 2016 year models as well.
The trike frame has remained unchanged as far as the drivers backrest fit up and brackets go. I do believe this to be true all the way back to 2009 as far as the drivers backrest goes.
