The wife has not been on a ride with me over 50 miles but she definitely likes it more than the Sundowner. I do not have the backrest for the Hammock from what I'd read was it was pretty flimsy. It's not super expensive I should buy one to try out but I have not yet. It doesn't have a hard mount it mounts to the grab strap on the seat. So I don't know how well it stays in place. I will probably give it a shot though sometime.
Thanks the Mustang seats have a much sturdier seat pan than the past stock HD seats, touring and Fatboy stock ones. In fact the HD pans were down right flimsy in comparison. I just pulled the Mustang seat off the Fatboy to remove the Power Commander and the back rest mounting bracket is very sturdy. But they are real proud of the Mustang seat. I should call Mustang and see if they have the measurements of the seat in reference to stock Heritage seat. I have seen those comparison measurements for other applications. The picture of the backrest for the Hammock has an odd clipping device which wasn't real clear how it worked. In the past on the touring my GF would ride 2-300 a day with me although she preferred the less than 200 mile days. I preferred the 300+ but sometimes would get a splitting headache in the back of my head. Whap type headache.
