i am in the market for a new seat for my 08 heritage
i am keeping the stock 2up style and need a seat that is both super comfortable and goes with the "original look" (though i am seriously considering a rider backrest ... thoughts? pictures?

 

My friend i ride with has the mustang 17.5 with studs and backrest and loves it. It looks like stock but has the detachable backrest and is much better ride.

 

Look up russel Day long seat.&nbsp\\; Not cheap, but best investment on bike yet.&nbsp\\; cant go wrong

 

I'm looking to get one as well for my 2000 heritage.&nbsp\\; Talked to lots of people and have read the testimonials everywhere.&nbsp\\; This is the one!&nbsp\\; http://www.mustangseats.com/softail/softail_79120.htm&nbsp\\; BTW I've found the solo seat and combo seat on ebay from several different vendors.&nbsp\\; Or of course you can go direct but it is definitely pricier from the mfg.&nbsp\\; The one above fits thru 07, there is also one for 08 at their main website.&nbsp\\; Check it out!
&nbsp\\;
Good luck!

 

Mustang front and rear w/ backrest. I've had 3 back surgeries.. Yesterday I rode for 8 hours and my back feels great.. No sore **** either. Wifey loves the passenger seat also.

 

I got a great deal on my Mustang seat off ebay.&nbsp\\; It was still new in box and guy never put it on his bike.&nbsp\\; It's the Vintage Solo with Driver Backrest 79278 for 00-07 softails.&nbsp\\; The backrest is fantastic on the long trips.

 

Might consider HD Sundowner..had the gel pack sewn in mine...lotta back support..I have no complaints...

 

I went with the Mustang as well, a huge improvement over the stock seat and the backrest is a godsend.&nbsp\\; I considered the HD aftermarket seats, but I don't like the seams on the sitting area.&nbsp\\; I still had to get off it for a few min every 2-3 hours to get the blood moving again on long days, but no effects that lasted more than a few min of standing up!

 

I have the Mustang, also.&nbsp\\; Lots of 400, 600, 800, and one 1074 mile day.&nbsp\\; I have the backrest and the passenger pillion that I think is 14" wide and the mustang sissy bar pad.&nbsp\\; I love my seat.&nbsp\\; I have 20K miles on it now.&nbsp\\; 40K on the bike.

 

+1 on the mustang I have tried 3 other seats and the mustang is the best
