I bought this great service but it is not cheap. And the best look.

Check Ebay......Be prepared for serious sticker shock.... New ones are going for over $400.00

Yeooow! I guess I just thought I wanted one - not for that change. Thanks, all, for the feedback. I'll check around on ebay, but I'm not inclined to spend that sort of cash. I'll also check out Firehouse. It does seem like there would be someone who makes leather seats and/or accessories that would get into this product. Oh well. Thanks again for the feedback.

Buyer beware

Let's not forget that those disgruntled buyers then turn right around and re-sell the crap.

I got a FC custom one for the wife's Deluxe. There's some spring to them so I put a piece of rubber between the rail and backrest to firm it up. Wife didn't like it anyway, said she sat too far back in the seat. She prefers using her solo mounted tourpak as a backrest
but I'm holding onto the FC in case she changes her mind.

I tried it out on my Heritage for awhile. Pushes you forward a bit on the Heritage and for some reason it gave me a lower back ache. Then went with the Mustang adjustable backrest. Jury's still out on whether I like it or not. Maybe I'm just not a backrest guy.
