We need a seat with plenty of booty and back support for when we peel off the big miles. We also want something modular in case we come across a pretty lady who may want to hop on as well. We found what we were looking for in the form of the Mustang Wide Smooth Solo with Driver Backrest ($495). It is a greatly contoured, 15-inch-wide solo seat that features a nose narrower than stock and a removable backrest. The backrest receptacle is securely welded to a 16-gauge steel baseplate for ultimate strength. For passenger comfort we went with a Recessed Rear Seat ($205) that is 13½ inches wide. It attached with supplied docking hardware and is recessed to allow for movement of the driver backrest. Watch along as we install one on our bike hours before takeoff.

Adjustments to the backrest can easily be made with Mustang’s finger screw.
