I'm looking at a Mustang rest also. The people that have one is it the adjustable one? ?

Mustang works for me. No complaints. Adjustable,comfortable and folds down easily. Just remember to lock it up along with the other stuff when your bike is out of sight.

I tried the grasshopper backrest first but it would not support me. Kept bending back as I leaned back. Really niceis looking though. I returned it and bought mustang backrest. It is real nice and adjustable. Very thin also. Now I wish I could find a solo seat it would work with.
