It's time for a new seat for my tail bone after falling down the stairs. And I'm looking at the mustang vintage solo or the Harley sundowner. It's going on a 05 Deuce

 

I have the Mustang solo and it is very comfortable. I also have a Corbin solo but it is not nearly as comfortable. Cant comment on the Sundowner.

 

I have the Mustang Vintage Solo on my Fatboy. While it is comfortable while at 50 mph, anything over that the rest of my body takes a beating. I'm looking for something that is a bit lower that puts me in the bike more.

I am currently looking into the Danny Grey Buttcrack seat? From my understanding, it spreads out the surface area of your butt for even weight distribution while placing you more in, not on, the bike.

 

I don't know how sensitive your tail bone is but the foam in a Mustang seat is firm. I had a vintage solo and you sit on it and you're higher than with a stock seat. The foam doesn't give much and that is part of the comfort of their seats. Also, takes a while to break in. Good seat if the firmness doesn't bother you.

 

Have you considered some sort of seat pad for your current seat? A pad would give you immediate relief. Breaking in a new seat now in your condition could be more painful than it's worth.

 

I'm running a Sundowner on a Road King, and it isn't that soft.

What you want kinda depends on where the pain comes from. Seats like my old Tall Boy are softer, but they have a firm support just behind your butt and in the lowest part of your back. That might irritate a broken tailbone.

The Sundowner doesn't have much support back there, MIGHT be easier on you.

Most really soft seats are only soft for a little while, than they compress and it feels like you're sitting on metal.

Might try one of those pads you fill with air, you could try different pressures.

Good Luck

 

Have a look at Ultimate seats, they give you a 14 day trial period. Love mine on my Fat Boy and very little tailbone pain at around 2 hours of non stop riding. After a 5 minute break for gas or whatever I'm good to go for another 2 hours.

 

Forget another seat and get an Air Hawk.

 

You could maybe get yours altered if you otherwise like it. Get it reshaped and add a pro pad gel pad. I'm not too far from Alligator Bob's custom seat shop, had him alter a Harley reach seat to shave down the hotspots and add a pro pad and it was a nice improvement.

 

Yes, agree 100%.
