Remind me again why I sold my Mustang?
You switched because you like the looks of the Gunfighter better and Mustang doesn't make their Gunfighter model with a rider's backrest.

What a smart a** I am

Actually.. that was the route I was going.. but I am a little nervous on Corbin after having 3 or 4 Mustangs...

I'd check out an Ultimate seate if I were you. I had a VTX 1300 with a terrible stock seat, but once I changed out to the Ultimate long rides became pure pleasure. They also make seats with the drivers backrest included. Most of the Mustangs I have sat on seem to make me sit higher in the seat, while the Ultimate allows me to sit in the seat.

Just my opinion,

Good luck with your choice

Have you found a good place to get the gunfighter w/ backrest? I fear I won't like the thing once I get it..
