So.....whats the verdict? Is it a Mustang or HD backrest? How much difference is there in price? What make is more user friendly? I been thinking on adding a rider back rest to my 08' SG, and a small passenger one for my GF's comfort. The thing is that I would only use them for the long hauls, so I would like mine to have a quick detach option....and have the adjustable feature.

I use mrs. deere's thighs as my back rest. You fellas with your skinny little wifes have to spend $250 for a back rest.

The rider backrest from HD is one of the best improvements I made on my 07 FLHTC. I purchased the adjustable for $200 and bent the bar about 30 degrees for it to recline a little bit more....its like riding on a lazyboy.

Have had the HD adjustable riders backrest on my last 2 HD, RG then EG.
Best addition you can make, wouldn't be without one now.
