Solo seat / backrest
I have an 06 Heritage. I want to put a riderbackrest on. HD says I have to buy a new seat to have a backrest. Well thats just crazy in my veiw. I like the original seat. It fits my *** just right.
Here is what I want, take the pillion off and install a backrest and put a bib on the rear fender. Am I asking for too much ? If I have to drill a couple of holes for the backrest mount I will. I want to do this for less than $200.00.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I was looking at these before looking at the mustang seat ,what I was not sure of was the seat bracket.
It looks as if it could bend under pressure and it is not adjustable other than this it looks very good.

I checked it out but it says not for a classic. What is the difference?

I decided to spend the money on the Mustang wide studded with back rest and 14" passenger seat. For some of us (especially me) that is alot of money ($731.00 shipped) to drop at one time. For me, I can say 100% worth it. I love to ride. I don't just set out on a skip around town. When I head out on my bike, I'm generally out for 8 - 12 hours, maybe more, so comfort is highly important to me.
If you are on and off the bike quite a bit, like 1/2 hr at a time, then the Firehouse would probably due. All day rides.....aint gonna cut it!
