Default solo with rider back support

Got an 08 FXDL and thinking of getting a Saddlemen solo with rider back rest. Not sure how it will look. Any comments? Any pictures?

I have a Saddleman Renegade solo seat with removable backrest on my Wide Glide and it's very comfortable and looks great. I only use the backrest for long trips. I don't have any pics right now.

Not sure about the Saddlemen, but C&C makes some nice seats. I bought one for my RG and the quality is excellent as was their customer service.

Here is a link with a bunch of pics:

I have a C&C solo with riders backrest and think its freakin awesome but I also got the suction cup removable pillion to match just so I'd have it and now just leave it on most of the time. Awesome on the lower back on those long rides when you wish you had a little something there to take the strain off your shoulders and rest your lumbar. The riders backrest is fully removeable too with a velcro flap that covers the hole in the seat if you just want the solo look without the backrest. At the time I opted out of the fancy design stitchwork likes flames or something or two tone or what not and now wish I had but the seat is hella comfortable.

Some misc pics from over the summer, and their price was better than Corbin's listed price. Remember to ask for the hdforum discount if you pick them.

Default solo for an 08 FXDL

OK, I got it narrowed down to either a Mustang or Saddlemen.
