HD adjustable backrest mod

Some others might be interested in this -- I bought the HD adjustable backrest for my 2014 Road King, but even with the pad at the lowest position it felt that it was too high on my back, and because of that it felt like it was pushing me forward even when pushed all the way back. I had already shelled out about $300 for it so I was not about to go and buy a different brand.

So I modified the HD backrest. At its lowest position the back pad was 2 inches above the seat and did not support my lower back. I removed the pad and saw that there is about 4 inches from the bottom of the pad adjustment slide to the top of the seat (where the support bracket bends sharply), so I cut the support at the halfway point between these two. I then overlapped them (thus eliminating the extra 2 inches), drilled two holes for 1/4 bolts, and bolted them together. Now it supports my lower back and I don't get the forward "push."
