Are you sure that's a Street Glide seat? It's kinda hard to tell from the picture but it looks just like the seat on my 11 Limited. I have the smooth vinyl HD backrest on mine and it looks great with the seat.

I just bought the Mustang for the Stock Harley seat. Works great. It is thinner so the Passenger has more room. matches the stock seat Perfict.

If it's smooth...you could go w/HD part# 52900-09A which is the smooth rider kit & don't forget to purchase matching mount...

Does it really look that bad? You're probably the only one that notices it.
