Default Mustang solo seat

Who has a Mustang vintage solo seat Part # 76159 and how do you like it. I want to set in the same position as stock. I don't need to be much closer to the handle bars. What do you think.

Also what about the Mustang day tripper solo.

I've had the Mustang Wide solo since this spring and I really enjoy it! I know I'm still breaking it in so it can only get better. I also got the passenger seat. A huge difference from the stock two-up I had!!

In my experience, it moved me back. After buying mine I actually had to put new handle bars on that came back more. That probably sounds extreme, but an 1" or 2" can be Significant. I was likely right at the edge with the stock bar and seat, and the mustang pushed me over, but probably the best seat out there for the sportster

My mustang solo also moved me back an inch or two.
Although I don't like the wideness of the seat, it is the most comfortable seat I have ever had on my Sportster. Comfort or looks ... I'll take comfort I think.

I have Mustang wide vintage on both bikes, they are tough to beat for comfort.

I just got the day tripper and I love it.
I wanted to be a bit higher and pushed back and it did just that.

I have 76157 which is the same seat for 2.1 tanks. I wont change it with anything else. It holds the rear in place when accelerating so its much safer. It's Comfy and I didnt notice if its any closer to the bars

At first it will feel as hard as piece of plywood. After break in it will give you support for all day riding with no butt burn.
