I also have the Harley adjustable. I was also going to use it for long rides, exclusively, but once I got it on the bike, I never take it off, unless I am riding 2up. Getting the adjustable stuff put on is a bit tricky as the instructions that come with it are crap. I find it is easier to install the switch to adjust the seat if you already have midframe air deflectors.
I have the stock seat as well as a hammock. I'm leaning towards the hd adj backseat. I'd hate to spend the money and not like it. The local dealer doent have a bike with the backseat for me to try
Also want to make sure that there is enough room for the passenger while riding 2 up
I have the HD Adjustable with the Sundowner Deep Bucket on my FLHXANV. My wife can ride with me having no issues and plenty of room (she's about 5'4" and 145lbs). I never ride without the backrest. Very comfortable with my highway pegs too.
Bought one from wisdom Motorcycle. Just installed and haven't riden yet(live in ND). But good price, easy install. Feels good in garage!LOL
Actually found them on ebay and mad a package deal for 4 pt hardware, quick detach rider backrest, luggage rack and tour pak bracket. Like it all so far:0)
Mustang has a simple design, adjust up ,down back and forth, easy install, i think i got it from Dennis Kirk, or revzilla, decent price, They have 2 kinds, 1 mounts under seat, other to the seat, make sure which one you get
Im Thinking about getting a drivers backrest,for the long rides,but would like some opinions on which backrest to get, Id prefer a adj one,doesnt have to be harley brand.
Do yourself a favor and get the MUstang backrest. It just easier to adjust on the fly and you can't find an UNCOMFORTABLE position anywhere with the Mustang.
