Well, yes you are right
It is slightly angled backward comparing to its upright position on the Deluxe, but it was a temporary solution until I got my C&C seats solo seat.

CVO 2012, Looks like the backrest sits back at an angle on the CVO compared to more upright on your Duluxe. Did you sit on it while mounted to your CVO and see how it rest against your back?

Sweet looking Deluxe buy the way!

Thanks for the posts,
Raptor

I bought this per his suggestion and yes you can mount it on the bike, but you will not like it on the bike.
$80 shot to hell.

Mustang # 79600.   I really like this seat.  And it comes with a really sweet backrest.   499.00 at j&p cycles.    They also have the rear passenger pillon too.   In the jp catalogue it is their part #802-186.     The rear is part #802-016.

i even got a pic!

Hi, a question please,  does the Mustang Rear Pillion fit to the bike without removing the rubber trim strips to the rear of the riders seat on the rear fender? Seveal seats on the HD site reqire those strips to be removed - No way would I do that by the way.

I don't have the passenger seat yet, it was on back order when i picked up the rider seat,,  they didnt say anything about removing the strips,,  I reallly dont think that should be an issue.   These seat manufactrurers have to know how the Street Glide is built.   I can let you know when I get it..  should be a few more days..

Well, it was a matter of taste, for me I put it as a temporary solution because I took it off my Deluxe so I had to put it back later on when I got my solo C&C seats, I had a a pair of this backrest pad's bracket and one of them had some scratches on the chrome bracket so I thought to give it a try on the CVO, I even had someone to bend the bracket little forward to obtain the upright position. So, it was all a try to see the mounting position and the outcome. But I'm sure if I had not order the C&C seat even before I receive the bike, I would have kept this backrest on.

Yes, please let us know and thanks for the pic. It kind of looks like the seat itself has a little more low back (butt) support than the stock one?

Thanks to everyone responding, this site rocks!

I got my mustang rear pillar.   It would not fit with the rubber trim strips at all.   Stuck up way too high.  I flipped it over and there are 2 rubber bumbers held on worth a rivet.   I oulled them off and then clipped off the divots smooth.   Fits perfectly now.   And looks great.   The bumpers hit exactly where the strips are mounted to the bike and now the seat sits on the rubber strips.    It's good.    I'll post a pic in bit.

CVOSTU, Thanks for the picture!

Does the detachable passenger backrest fit with the Mustang passenger pad and if so can you post a picture?

Thanks again,
Raptor

WOW  That's a nice looking seat 

[Cvostu]

the Mustang rear pillar does sit up higher than the stock one.  Also. there is a black plastic round spacer that goes between the fender and the mounting tab that picks it up a little higher.  The passeneger backrest DOES go on, but it is a little snug.   I don't really want to try it without the spacer and have it mount too close to the fender.  I think its fine and good to know if i have a passenger there is a back rest on.  I'm good with it.
