Default New Seat w/back rest

I'm looking to buy a new seat with driver backrest. Was wondering what has worked for you guys/gals.
I currently sit a bit too far back to comfortably ride my road pegs.
Thanks in advance
Gary Baker

Mustang Wide Studded with Driver Backrest is what I have. Very Happy.

I have a similar problem. Short legs.

I just today added a Firehouse Customs drivers backrest to my Heritage Classic.
Feels great in the garage but it is dumping right now so I won't get to ride until tomorrow or the next day.

I really like it so far. Direct bolt on with no mods to the bike!

The owners name is Mark.

After about 10 attempts I found the Saddleman was the bad boy. Price was right to boot. Enough back support for me, a very "bucket" seat, some like the support way up there tho.



Good luck!

I also have the Mustang vintage solo with back rest. It was a great improvement from the stock Deuce seat. I almost did not order the backrest but man am I glad I did. The backrest makes a world of difference.
