I think it is worth every penny. Comfortable, quality construction, and proper fitment. NO complaints except that it doesn't have a quick release on it, but oh well.

 

Thought I would update this post for those interested. Bought the rider backrest for stock Heritage seat. It works well, but sits you a little closer if you're taller and/or used to leaning back a bit (I'm 6'2 and would prefer to be 1-2 inches further back - maybe I can bend it a little!). Cost was $139 shipped, plain black. Will come in handy on longer rides out of town. For me it's a lot better, more stable than the Kuryakyn "Tombstone" integrated backrest bag. The bag actually works, you get 1", 2" and 3" foam backrest pad but you have very little room in the bag to put "stuff."

The backrest is leather but not exactly the same color/texture of the stock seats; stock seats use a higher quality leather.

All in all, works well since the Sundowner wasn't a good option for me. Sundowner sit me lower and closer which put my ankles on the Mustache hwy pegs.

 

Thats pretty cool backrest you told us about WARG. I am tryn to figure out when I wanted to ride to Hollister (600+ miles one way) (corbin)...

Wonder ..eh I still need a two piece seat.. wont use my stock one(flaps rub back fender).
but with that rest, my options on seats kinda expanded...maybe look at some CC seat if that have a two piece
then ask firehouse for a back rest

my options on a corbin(full options) would be running in the 1k area..
my options on a mustang would run close to 800..

 

PM me I've got the Firehouse backrest for the '07 (it's a major difference vs. pre '07).
I'll send it to ya cheap.
(Is $90 shipped cheap?).

 

Took mine on an 1800 mile 4 day trip, it was a life saver. Only thing that hurt was my butt. I will be sending my stock seat to americanasoftseats.com for some modification.

 

Texas Fatboy, thanks for the offer but I still would need a 2 piece seat first. Wont be for a couple months before I can aford one. All tapped out from my new PM calipers and Boss Bags.. and WO bars n chrome stuff :P

 

In a couple of months I might have my Mustang Wide Vintage Solo with Rider's Backrest and both wide and skinny rear pad for sale.
I just need to ride my Corbin enough to make sure I love it as much as I did the Mustang.
Keep me in mind if you want to go that direction.

 

Does it fit a '06 deluxe????

 

I think you can go to their site www.firehousecustoms.com and they will show all the applications they have available.

 

Warg,

They said that it is designed to be installed with both rider AND passenger pillion in place.
Would you agree that the pilion necessarily has yo be on??
By looking at pics. I just don't see the big deal in leaving it off.
