solo seat back rest

I have a mustang 2 up seat with a harley driver back rest that pushes down between the seats and is the spring loaded type that loads into the fender mounted bracket . I want to go with a solo style seat that will accept the harley back rest and fender hardware, the type where the hardware is hidden and the backrest pushes down into the seat. This is for a 99 RK Any suggestions or pics ?

Check the Mustang sight. They must have something.
I checked for you, No for a Mustang that's snap-in. Yes for a bolt-on.

No it will not work with the HD hardware. I have the same seat and yes it is a C & C. You need to swap out the HD hardware for the bracket that comes with the C & C. The backrest mount in the C & C seat is actually built into the seat. The backrest just shoves right into the seat. It is an easy switch to go from the HD 2-up to the C & C solo. I do it on a regular basis.

Solo rider back rest

I have a Corbin Solo seat as well as a Corbin two up touring seat on my 2007 FLHTC that uses the same backrest that inserts into the seat. Its very easy to insert it into either the rider or passenger section of the seat. Its also easy to store in your saddlebag when not in use.
If you are thinking about a new seat , think about the Corbin. It seems a little firm the first time you sit on one, but after a long ride you will be satisfied with your investment.
