seat w/backrest

[8D] I'm looking into getting a seat with a riders backrest, for my '02 Dyna wide glide. Anyone got opinions of what is the most comfortable, and gives good back support? I'm getting older and need the additional support!
I like the looks of the Mustang. Has anyone tried the HD seat (#53042-01A) that has the backrest? If it is anything like the seats that come on the bike I don't want to get it! I want some comfort.

RE: seat w/backrest

I have a Mustang Wide Vintage on my LowRider with a wide pad for the Mrs. Bought it at Sturgis '03 from the Mustang vendor and it was worth every penny. The wife and I have taken several 200+ mile morning rides. I remove the rider backrest with her on it. If she's not with me I take the pad and sissybar off and put the backrest on. Very comfortable in that configuration for me. Going to put it to the ultimate test starting the end of next week. 5k+ miles in less than 3 weeks.

I am a big fan of Corbin. A little more money than the others, but very high quality, with all day riding comfort.

Regards,

Bill

RE: seat w/backrest

Bill, Have heard that the Corbin may be a little too firm, do you find that true? Then another friend of mine bought a Mustang but after a year he said it wasn't like it was when he bought it.

I also am seeking a solo sit with back rest as my old buddy need some support on those longer rides. 04 Low Rider

RE: seat w/backrest

There are two screws in the rear fender on my bike. One holds the solo seat on the other holds the pillion. If I remember correctly, the factory seat is screwed into the pillion screw hole and there is a plug where the solo seat attaches. It's been awhile since I had the seat installed. The original seat is in a shipping box from where Mustang shipped it t omy house from Sturgis where I bought the seat for the return ride. So far I love the seat. I'll be able to really give a more informed opinion of the long haul comfort of the seat at the end of the month. Putting over 5k miles on her this month. Leave tomorrow.
