Yes. Sorry. Hard to pay attention at a meeting and be on here. Not to mention my phone loves to autocorrect some words automatically...

Also forgot to mention, saving 10% is nice, but I dont like putting my info out there at a site. On Amazon I buy gift cards and do it that way.

I have had adjustables on my last two bikes and I rarely if ever move them but nice to have the option

The Grasshopper on my bike comes up a little on my back, not my hind end.

Mustang part number 79610 fits 2009-2017 HD seat or Mustang seat. I have one on my 2009 Ultra. It's adjustable as well.

I have the HD adjustable and really like it. I find that I do like the ability to adjust it on the fly especially on longer rides.

Same here. The adjustable model has a gas shock that pushes it into you, you press the lever and push yourself into it until you find just where you want to be. I rarely adjust mine, mostly on long straights with the cruise set and feet up on the pegs to make a small adjustment if I want to.
The backrest is a big help when you are backing up your bike, especially a small incline. And, it's easy off when you prefer your passenger's double D backrest instead!
