Driver Backrest
Ok just got back from a 2day 700+ mile trip and I had a make shift backrest from my luggage. This makes me want a backrest all the time now lol
I know corbin and Mustang have some solo seats with backrests but looking for more options. I would even consider a 2-up seat with a driver backrest.

I really wish i would have got the driver back rest. I cheaped out and just got the mustang wide vintage but man do i wish i would have spent the extra money after a long weekend of riding. I think one of the harley seats will accept a backrest depending on the model of your bike

I was the same way...I have the Biker's Friend roll bag and that was a good backrest but just a little too far back. I went ahead and replaced my Mustang Wide Vintage with the Wide Vintage w/ Backrest. Some of the best money I've spent.

I bought a protac for my Wifes Softail but I ended up doing something different for her.
They make one specifically for the earlier up to 05 Dyna's, I dont know whats different about them and mine (an 07).
I just flipped the brackets, drilled out the bottoms (whiich is now the top) and mounted it on my Dyna. I even added set screws so it couldnt be stolen easily or shift adjustment.
Perfect place for my bag also since I only ride solo.
I love it!

Another one with mustang wide with backrest. Would not trade if for anything, it can be on when I want it, or off when I do not.

Biker's Friend backrest bag
This bag works great as a backrest. If it is too far back, it comes with two backrests and you can use one as a spacer between the sissy bar and the bag to move it forward. I love always having storage - it will hold a full-face helmet. It removes easily for riding double. The only criticism is that the inside of the bag is PVC, so I padded mine. Anyway, you have lots of choices.
