Default Mustang Backrest Questions
I recently installed a Mustang one piece touring seat and a backrest kit. When I put the backrest on a higher position it slides down to the lowest while riding. Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it? I am even thinking of switching to th HD adjustable backrest. Anyone tried both?

I had the HD adjustable backrest and hated it. So I sold it to a friend who has a mustang seat. He loves it. I bought a C&amp\\;C solo with backrest and I love it. Everyones happy

Try taking your seat off and adjusting the detent screw.&nbsp\\; Don't get the HD model.
