Default Which rider backrest for solo seat on Road King?

Is there a certain rider backrest that would look best on a 2000 RK with Sundowner solo seat. All the backrests I see have controls at the bottom that look they need to be hidden by a passenger seat.

Mustang makes a nice backrest that has a clean look.It will work with both Mustang and stock Harley seats. Before my C&C I had the Mustang backrest with the stock Ultra seat. I was very pleased with how well they looked together.

Corbin's backrest is incorporated right to the seat. Super clean!

I was not aware that the Mustang was compatible with an HD seat but have a Mustang seat. Love the backrest and the adjustable aspect. Plenty of opinions and this is just mine.

Thanks for the feedback! I will check out grasshopper. The Mustang does have the cleaner look of what i've seen so far. Not sure about the air bag seat. You can get an idea of fitment just looking at pix of he Mustang on eBay or maybe calling Mustang.

Merry Xmas!
