Will a drivers backrest make me a wuss?
I'm in the market for a new solo seat for my 05 RK standard. I was initially leaning towards the Mustang with the drivers backrest. After hearing all the positive comments about the Sundowner. I figure that might be the way to go. The Mustang is about twice the price. The Sundowner solo can not accommodate a drivers backrest. Now, I'm 49 with two herniated and one bulging disk in the neck from years of construction work. On the other hand I'm not a wuss either. I figure the only time I might really want a backrest is on 6 hour plus rides, although I have never had one before. I was wondering about you guys who have upgraded your seats with and without backrests. How much use do you really get out of the backrest and would you consider it a necessity?

backrest, i couldnt live without it...i had a bulging disk L4-L5...had to have back surgery...that was in july05.
currently i ride a street glide, with either a corbin solo or dual tour; sometimes the wife rides
with me...both seats have backrest inserts...i can comfortably ride all day...its great being able to
lean back and relax...as far as the "wuss factor", when you are riding, i doubt anyone notices the backrest
and if your off your scooter, put the backrest in your bag.
