What We like

The Detachable Sissy Bar Backrest with Chrome Luggage Rack Set is a great product for anyone who needs a backrest on their Electra Glide. The control switch is mounted on the backrest, allowing people to adjust the backrest back or forth, as well as rotating it 180 degrees. When you mount it, it will contact the sissy bar, making it look as if it is permanently installed.

PBYMT Detachable Sissy Bar Passenger Rear Backrest Pad Compatible for Davidson Harley Touring Street Glide Road King Electra Glide 2009-2020 (Black)

What We like

The sissy bar is detachable, but comes with no installation instructions, so it's easy to break the plastic clip if you forget to put it back on. It also sits slightly above the floorboards, and this has a slight effect on comfort, especially over long distances.

What We like

The backrest was comfortable for the passenger, but fell out during taxiing. It wobbled a bit, but didn't affect stability. The luggage rack had no effect on the stability. Overall, this is a decent product, but the steering control must have been an afterthought.

What We like

Not as good as we had hoped, but we did like the tough build of this sissy bar backrest. This specific backrest is far less expensive than the sissy bars it attaches to, though, so it's a good value.
