Default Road King DRIVERS BACKREST question

Is there any aftermarket, or otherwise, good looking drivers backrests available for a 2005 Road King Custom?? To me the standard HD riders backrest looks like they used left over upholstery, and cheap foam, sorry if i insulted anyone, but, that's how they look to me. I'm looking for a neat, smaller backrest, anyone??

Default Mustang Backrest is the Answer!

Look no further than the Mustang. It worked perfectly on my '05 Road King and is now working perfectly on my '08 Road Glide. ........... BC

Default Rider Backrest

This is a Corbin back rest that can be purchased in chrome/black chrome/ paintable/carbon fibre. It is marginally adjustable.

Default Mustang, Mustang, Mustang!!!

Mustang is where it's at...
When I first got my backrest for my solo seat on my RK, I was wondering if it was worth paying 200 dollars for it, but is is SOOOOO worth it!
