Default Backrest question for a 06 Roadglide

I am looking to buy a backrest for my 06 Roadglide...I have a Mustang Regal Ultra Tourning seat with Tour pack....Should I buy the "matching" adjustable Mustang backrest or are there better ones out there that would "match" the Regal Ultra Touring seat?

Also, would it help the OL to move the tour pack back once I get the backrest the 2" with the tourpack kit some people talk about?

Below I pictured the Mustang Regal backrest and the HD pillow backrest. I think the HD pillow would be the closest you could come to the Mustang look. The HD is slightly cheaper, but only about by $60. If you want an adjustable backrest than you can get the HD pillow adjustable, but I don't think Mustang offers an adjustable.

If Mama needs more room than sure go ahead and get the tourpak relocate kit from George Anderson.

Thanks for the information...I was unsure if I needed to stay with Mustang or not...and I found out that the Mustang backrest is adjustable...

As far as Momma she doesn't need more room (She's 5' tall and 95 lbs wet), I was thinking about with the backrest and her trying toget on and off the ride...Thought it might help her there.

Again thanks for the info...

I have the HD adjustable backrest and feel it is by far, the BEST mod I have made. Being able to adjust on the fly adds many miles to a day! As far as your passenger getting on and off, this backrest just pushes forward and out of the way. It also adjusts up and down with the push of a button on the back. If you couldn't tell, I absolutely LOVE my backrest!
