Default Looking for a solo seat with a backrest.

I really like my mustang but it's not going to look as BAD A$$ as the one you've already got on there.

Only one true answer here. C&C. Any color, any design you want. Clean, easy on/off, and the backrest stores in your saddlebag or trunk (as does my pillion).

C&C Seats if you like a "hard" style seat - Mustang if you like "soft/lots of cushion" seats. Both have solo w/backrest models that are very comfy. Stay away from stitching or textures if your fanny is sensitive to that kind of stuff.

Danny Gray Big Seat with backrest.

Get the gel insert, it takes some of the vibration out.
They can do you a custom stitching and exotic skin inlay.

Not great for seeing the lines of the seat but you can see the large backrest well:


Here you can see the lines. I got the small backrest first and then the large for longer trips. They just slide in and out;

I've got to give a quality nod to the C&C product as well. I love mine and would recommend them highly.

The Corbin solo has a similar look to the C&C. Corbin seats are great for the long haul. Kind of firm, and some folks don't care for them, but I'm real happy with mine.
