Well, that sucked....  Mustang seats said it would be slightly lower, which is great but this seat actually raised me up 3/4" if not more.  Guess they didn't factor a CVO seat is lower than a regular SG.  Sent it back already.  And by the way, dealing with Jan over at Mustang (Supervisor) was useless.  She had no interest in showing me any love.  And the new seat choice, #79910 which looks like the better choice is $200 more.  No thanks!

So what other options are out there.  I am starting to like the one from CVOBackrest.com but I see many different shaped backrests on his and don't know which one it ships out with...  Help?

You can order it without the pad and order the CVO pad from HD so it matches the seat.

Yes,  I spoke to George about it this evening.   Really nice guy too.   If I go this route I would buy the CVO backrest for his part and cut a shot in the rear flap of the seat to hide most of the hardware.  Surdyke has the backrest pad for $104 and the hardware is $159 including shipping from George.

So I went a different direction and order the backrest from Bitchn Stitchn.  Will be here Thursday.  I like that it's all leather and contoured to your back.  Just seems very well made for $199.00.  Saw some pics of it on a bike exactly like mine too.  Hope I like it.  Dan at Bitchn Stitchn was totally cool on the phone also!

So this is my new backrest from Bitchn Stitchn.

I think if I bring the seat and backrest to my leather tailor,  she may be able to open up the two seams where the metal hardware sits on the seat and pass it through the opened seam to hide it all.

Thoughts?

Do you have a web address for where you got that back rest?  I have not been able to find it using Bitchn Stitchn.  Thanks

Call and speak to Dan.  303.238.5404 
Nice guy.  It cost $199 + $13 shipping.

Back rest is made well and it's ALL leather.   It's not perfect but nothing I've seen really is.

I like it better with the matching pad, my OCD knows no bounds 

[dm930]

Yours is a different brand.

C&C Makes such a great quality seat.The Finished look of the backrest was another reason to choose them.

Their passenger pillion and matching covering stock sissy pad is...Well you decide
