Danny Gray Big Seat. Love it! It will lower as well as set you back a bit. I'm sorry I don't know exactly how much because I never rode with the stock seat, put the DG on before I drove home, but from only sitting on RKC in the showroom my guess is down and back 3/4 to 1 inch both ways.
I have the large pillion and have been told it's very comfortable. I have the small backrest and it's great, just in the small of my back. I think it's a great looking seat as well. I recommend getting the "gel" insert. It needs to be done at the factory but it helps take out some of the vibration, you can feel it at stops. It's actually a medical foam that doesn't freeze or leak. Call Sherry at DG; 888-443-2669.
I had a CC 2-up on my Sportster, a very good seat, but went to a Danny Gray solo.



One with the pillion and H-D backrest;

they say they put you forward but i've never noticed what i can tell you is my legs used to tingle after about 50 miles and start to go numb around a hundred. i love the mustang, it's important that it fits right. so if you can find a dealer where you can put one on your bike or put one on one of the horse things to test it i would give it a look.
plus if you're going to leave the pillion on it acts as a great backrest just a little bit of pressure where you need it.
they have several pillions too depending if you want looks or to give your old lady something comfortable

I've always liked the Mustang seat with backrest. I've used a Corbin and a Russell, but the Mustang went on my latest Road King.
