I purchased this backrest a month ago for my BMW Mustang Seat. I decided I like the looks without it.
Selling it for $200.00 plus shipping, we can calculate the shipping cost once I get your address to where it’s being shipped too.
From 34481 Ocala, Florida
it’s in just like new condition besides the 1/4” hole.

I'm currently using the backrest from my Triumph Thunderbird Mustang seat that works perfectly (I just swap back-and-forth). Would be nice to have 1 for each but maybe at half that price ... good luck though.

Is the Triumph better than the BMW backrest? I feel uncomfortable using the BMW Mustang drivers backrest because it makes me go forward on the seat…

Honestly, I suspect they're identical. I actually prefer it forcing me forward & upright and I don't even put the screw into the hole. I bump it up against the flat part of the backrests silver flat part and even put a car valve stem cap on the screw for that extra 1/4".
