Mustang Backrest
I have an HD tallboy seat on the RK, and tho not tall, I really like it. The bike has the brackets for the backrest (I assume HD version) but no backreast came with it. I have heard good and bad about the HD backrest angle. Is the Mustang better? Anybody know if it will work with my HD seat?
Thanks,

I got a Mustang seat also. I didnt get the back rest and like was already said I'm kicking myself for not getting it. But even without it's one fine seat. Went with 2 different HD seats and none compare to the riding comfort of this seat. It seems the longer I ride the more it contours to my rear. Just cant say enough about this sseat. I got this seat on E-bay for $225 and $160 for the Thin Pad. It's the last seat I'll ever buy for this bike.

Wow.....what a difference. I added the Mustang solo seat with rider backrest today on my '09 fatbob and man what an unbelieveable difference. I only thought I liked my bike before but now I love it 
LOL. I'm glad I took everyone's advice and tried the Mustang. Install took all of about 5 minutes and I was able to put about 100 miles on it. Before I could only ride the bike 75 miles or so and then I would need to stop. I think with this seat I'll be able to ride tank to tank. Thanks again!

I put a mustang wide super touring seat on my 08 fatbob this spring. After 3 500+ mile rides I'm putting the stock seat back on for an Iron Butt this month. I don't have a back rest and strapped a loaded pack to the sissybar, maybe it was too loaded but it really bothered my right knee a lot more than last year. The other mod this winter was a big sucker w/a K&N air cleaner so that might be the problem. I'm running Iso pegs with stirrups. If anybody has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
