I have a 2015 Road Glide Special (FLTRXS). I have purchased a King Tour Pack from Advanblack. It looks amazing in my amber whiskey color. I bought the HD mounting brackets and HD solo tour pack mount rack. Now I learned that I must have a solo seat to use the solo mount rack. So, I want a solo seat with an adjustable backrest. Which seat does everyone prefer? I'm looking at Ultimate, HD and Mustang. Which one does everyone prefer?

I use the Saddlemen and Mustang Wide Tripper both work well, but I use the Chopped TP as a backrest,, but I can take the pad off he TP and use a backrest, I have both Saddlemen and Mustang
I will give you my opinion after trying about 6 different solo seats. I ended up with the Mustang Solo Standard Touring w/Backrest. The Mustang you link is the Lowdown, that drops you a bit but also pushes you up on top of the gas tank. The Mustang Wide Touring raises you about 1" and drops you back about 1.75". For me, the Standard Touring put me in about the same position as my stock Road King seat but is much more comfortable on all-day rides. If you look on the Mustang website the seat descriptions will estimate the seating position versus standard.
Seats are very personal so hopefully you find your fit quickly and not have to go through 6 as I did.
