Hi Airborne. Do you have any issues with your rear backrest?&nbsp\\; The quick detach I bought through Harley vibrates and drives me crazy and not sure what to do about it.&nbsp\\; It's actually wearing out the mounts. &nbsp\\; I should've went with the hard mounted style instead.&nbsp\\; What is on your W/G?.

Thanks for the reply. Its funny you should ask that,....all my recent searches have been all about seats. Its the stock seat, and I would definitely want something more comfortable for long rides. Does anyone have pictures of a 1999 - 2005 Wide Glide with a Mustang Regal Duke or a HD Pillow Look seat mounted up?? I want to keep the stock look with more padding and comfort. I have considered sending out the stocker to be modified with memory foam.
