I got the seat delivered on the bike. Can check it when I get home this weekend.

My vote would be C&C solo w/back rest. I love mine.

C&C Solo with backrest is looking REAL good to me. Does it move you back over the stock seat?

I have the C&C solo and love it. I think the seating position is pretty close to a stock Street Glide seat but the foam they use is firmer and works much more comfortable on longer rides. I put 800 miles on it Labor day weekend with out a sore but.

I don't have a C&C (yet), but i'm pretty sure they will make one that sits you back further if that's what you want.

I have a Mustang solo with backrest and just did 3150 miles in a week. Compared to that torture device that came stock, it was nirvana.

You definitely need a back rest. I have the Corbin Classic solo with the Corbin adjustable small oval back rest on my Road King Custom and it is great. I had a Corbin on my previous bike and very highly recommend them. Genuine leather and firm support that will last forever. A 600 mile ride in a day is a piece of cake and I have a bad back also. An adjustable back rest is your best bet.

I really like my Mustang with the back rest. I have a broken vertbra in my back and this does the trick.
