Canadian bike... federal regulations up here require it. I'm changing the cover to the smoked version right away, about the best I can do to tone it down a little.

Cheers

Howmdo you like your Mustang Solo seat by the way? Is that the wide 17" or 15"?

It's better than the stock seat but I really don't like it. I already had it and decided to try it. I had a 13 CVO road glide and the stock seat was much better than the 17 seat and the Mustang too. I am not sure about the width. I will check it for you tomorrow...

Nice! I can't wit either, but unfortunately I have no choice now! Gonna be a very long winter.

I have a Hammock from my 103 as well, with the adjustable backrest. I modified the seat pan to fit the cvo so it would go over the fender rails, but I'm holding off installing the adjustable backrest because this bike looks so awesome with a solo seat with the details on top of the fender. And my wife never rides with me anyway.

I'm considering the Mustang solo with built in backrest that Elky72 has on this thread. Looks like a good fit.

Cheers!

Thanks, much appreciated.

I may just end up running the stock and swapping out the Hammock for longer rides. Just struggling with whether or not to install the adjustable backrest, as it is so comfy, but nixes being able to install the solo seat. I was hoping the Mustang would be the best of both worlds, so I appreciate the feedback.

On the other hand, the backrest is only four bolts...

Cheers

Nice ride. I have had my 17 CVO Street glide 8 weeks now, and have 6350 miles on it. I was off shore at work three of those weeks.

Waiting for a head pipe with no cat buy Fullsac and then may do the torque cam.

May I suggest you checking out C&C saddles before go to and make your final decision.

I have both the C&C Solo and SportsTouring with back rest.

NOT too many folks have them, won't see one on every bike, but MOST folks swear by them.
