I've had Corbin for years and years, and their backrest works great for me. If you're using your stock seat, I think the only option is HD. I'm sure others are good, but it's hard to beat Corbin for my $$.

I have the HD adjustable and love it. It only comes off when I ride with the wife.

Highly recommend the Mustang Backrest- stay away from the HD non-adjustable- sold mine and went to this one http://mustangseats.com/cart/index.p...4_127_145_618-

I was in the market for a backrest just a few weeks ago and read all the threads on that subject I could find. Several of the posts I read complained about the HD adjustable backrest, specifically the quality of the product and the instructions being lousy making the installation a pain. I decided to go with a mustang adjustable and can tell you that it was a great decision. I love everything about it. installs in minutes, easy to use and adjust, workmanship is very high quality, etc, etc, etc. I noticed the HD adjustable has some kind of wire to allow for adjustments. don't know what that's about but I prefer a manual adjustment to hooking some kind of wire to my bike.
I would definitely suggest the mustang to anyone. one of the best additions I've made to my bike.

I have used the Corbin one and currently have the HD one. I would recommend either.
