Default Mustang Wide w/backrest - Worth it???

Looking at either a Wide, or a Wide with built-in backrest. Is it worth spending all that extra money for the one with the backrest? Its just a lot of extra money but I don't want to be sorry.

Would appreciate advice from anyone thats had both and can compare.

Thanks!

its a personal choice... i dont need a backrest so dont have one. the wide mustang is a great seat. you prob know that you can get the one piece (front and back seats) or two pieces (removable rear). pretty sure that the backrest comes only on the two piece (as an option).

this is the one piece:

Wanabe,

That looks like the one pie shown here:

I just put a backrest on my bike, harley parts 53925-04 & 52735-85

Do you see any problem with the mustang seat fitting correctly with this bar on the back?
