Default Mustang Backrest

Got my Mustang backrest today and put it on right away> Man, what a huge difference while riding. You can relax your grip while accelerating, sit back and throw your feet forward. Anyone thinking of adding one should give it a try. The Mustang has 4 different heights, adjusts foward and backward and pops right out when you don't want it. I couldn't do that with the standard HD one. See ya on the back roads!

I've had mine on my 07 RK for a couple years and love it. Hands down better than any other I've had or seen. Funny thing is, my buddy has an 09 RK and ordered the back rest and seat for his and the length of his arm is shorter by at least 2" making the adjuster push into the seat. No good in my opinion. I put mine on his bike and it works perfect. I have no clue why Mustang shortened the length? mybe to save a buck?

Dunno, I added mine to the stock 07 FLHTC seat, fits perfect. Dennis Kirk had em for 196.00 including shipping.
