Default Softail Slim seat vs Mustang Wide Tripper Solo

Hi folks,

So I currently have a Deluxe seat fitted to my Slim (after going through many other options, including various sprung seat set-ups) BUT having fitted brown saddlebags I'm now thinking of a brown seat, and so came across the Mustang Wide Tripper solo in brown.

My Question is, what's the difference in the stock seat and and the MWTS? Does the Mustang put you further forward/up/down?

My Deluxe seat is much more supportive than the Slim's stock seat, but it also puts me a touch forward which I like

It does push you forward about an inch, but it definatly doesn't push you up it lowers you about an inch or so and has more support than a stock seat

It definitely does not sit you lower than the stock seat, I've now got a le pera bare bones & that definitely sits you lower than stock.

I am also interested in the MWTS. I don't mind the stock seat for around town use but kills me on long rides. The MWTS has been a seat that I've wanted to try out for quite some time now. And I also like that they make the matching pillion. I currently gave a Danny Gray Weekday 2up but I am trying to sell it for this reason.
