Mustang Back Rest on a Stock Harley Seat?
I read some where that you can use a mustang riders back rest on a stock Harley seat.
Does anyone know if this is true? Will it fit on the new style seats like my FLTRU has?
Had a cheap back rest on my Heritage and I loved it.
Enquiring minds want to know....

The Mustang seat has the back rest support made into the seat, so it won't work with a stock Harley seat. I have an adjustable back rest that came off my 05 EGC and it fit better on my 10 than the one made for it. Had to fab one small L bracket and it worked perfect.
WOW! I guess I was wrong about it fitting. You posted while I was typeing and didn't see it. Learn something new every day. Some times twice a day.

How is the bottom / support piece mounted on your bike / seat?

I've used a mustang backrest with the stock SG seat, stock ultra seat, and the sundowner. The top of the mounting bracket tends to stick out a bit with the stock SG seat, but no issues at all with the sundowner or ultra seat.
