Buying Guide and FAQs
Buying Guide: Factors to Consider When Choosing Harley Bike Backrests
- Compatibility: Ensure the backrest or sissy bar fits your Harley's model (e.g., Softail, Touring, XL, FXLR, FLHC, Big Twin cruisers) and year (e.g., 2018+ for some quick-release options). Use the vehicle selector for precise matches, noting if a 4-point Docking Hardware Kit is required (sold separately) to avoid installation issues.
- Type of Use: For touring or passenger comfort, choose quick-release backrests with pads; solo riders may prefer tall sissy bars for style; luggage-integrated options suit long trips with cargo needs in street or highway conditions.
- Components and Upgrades: Select sissy bars with pads (e.g., 8-1/2" H x 6-3/4" W vinyl), luggage racks, or one-piece designs. Add features like adjustable heights (14-1/2" to 25") and 10 lb capacity for enhanced functionality and customization.
- Brand and Quality: Opt for Motherwell for Made in USA steel options with matte black/chrome finishes or Burly Brand for robust tall sissy bars. Prioritize 3/4" DOM tubing and heavy-duty construction for durability and impact resistance.
- Installation and Cost: Most are bolt-on to fender struts for easy DIY setup; prices range from $173 for colored sissy bars to $463.99 for tall touring models—factor in pad bundles and free shipping over $99 for value.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What Harley models do these backrests support? Backrests and sissy bars are compatible with models like Softail (e.g., MWL-175-09B), Touring (e.g., MWL-456-MB), XL (e.g., MWL-216B), FXLR (e.g., MWL-118B), and FLHC (e.g., MWL-137-18)—use the year/make/model filter for exact fits.
- How do quick-release backrests work? They feature proprietary latch systems using factory docking hardware for easy on/off, ideal for switching between solo and passenger setups.
- Are pads included with sissy bars? Some bundles (e.g., MWL156T18-MB-WP) include black vinyl pads (9" H x 7" W); others require separate purchase—check details for inclusions.
- What materials and finishes are available? Primarily steel with matte black, gloss black, chrome, red, or blue finishes for style and corrosion resistance in various riding conditions.
- What if a backrest doesn't fit my Harley? Verify model, year, and required hardware (e.g., docking kit) before buying. Our returns policy allows exchanges or refunds if it doesn't match.
- Can I find related frame and body parts? Yes—explore seats, fairings, or luggage racks in the Harley frame and body category to complement your backrest for added comfort and storage.
