About Cobra
Cobra USA builds exhaust, sissy bars, luggage racks and bolt-on styling parts for cruisers and baggers, with a catalog aimed at the rider who wants a finished, matched look rather than a one-off fabrication. Its slip-ons and full systems are designed around factory mounting points for a straightforward bolt-on install.
The Cobra Detach Short Backrest in black provides essential passenger comfort and a sleek look for 1997-2008 Harley FLH/FLT Touring models. Its detachable design allows for quick installation or removal in seconds, offering flexibility for any ride.
Why riders pick this

For riders who appreciate both convenience and a clean aesthetic, the Cobra Detach Short Backrest in black is an excellent choice. This backrest offers comfortable support for your passenger on long hauls, yet its proprietary pull-release mechanism means you can remove it in seconds for a stripped-down look when cruising solo or around town. It’s a versatile addition that won't require relocating your stock turn signals.

Really made the back rest and sissy bar pop. I had seen reviews where the mounting holes did not line up with the back rest. Mine lined up perfectly. Workmanship is great. Made from thick sturdy material that will stand up to use and the weather. Only con would be that there are only 2 designs for the smaller 11 inch sissy bar/ backrest combo. I really liked the skull and flag insert but not available for 11 inch bar. I would buy this product again for the next bike

Really made a difference in the looks of the backrest. I had read in another review that the screw holes did not line up with the backrest pad and sissy bar but this one lined up perfectly

Great product!!! The quality is amazing and worth the price. Super easy install for my Cobra 11"in chrome detachable mini sissy bar on my 2014 HD Street Bob. Fast free shipping was icing on the cake😎
