Default Which Backrest - Harley or Mustang?
I'm looking at putting a Mustang wide touring seat on my '03 Ultra.

Which backrest fits and works the best? I want something that is adjustable and sturdy enough to help when backing up the bike. It also needs to be easy to remove.

I know that there are other options, but these are the two I'm looking at.

Thanks

This is my second Mustang seat w/ backrest, and I have been happy with both. I think you will need to order the solo with backrest and add the pillion. You'll be happy!

Last bike I had a Corbin and the backrest was a pain in the *** to remove. I have a mustang on this bike and the backrest is very adjustable.e, strong for backup and a snap to remove...I highly recommend this product.

Mustang. It's narrower, folds down and the stitching matches the tourpak backrest.
