I have the Mustang Wide Touring Vintage on both my 14 Sportster Custom & Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Classic. They offer great lower lumbar support and sit you slightly higher.
Both are very comfortable and firm. No butt burn, and all day rides are a breeze for this old geezer.
I also have the Mustang One Piece Day Tripper, which is similar to the stock seat, but with more support. Seems to have a longer driver seating area. I would still primarily be using the Day Tripper if a great CraigsList deal hadn't happened. Shameless plug....the Day Tripper is up for sale in the classified section.

The Wide Vintage on the 1200 Custom sits about the same as stock, but does rise you up a little due to the extra thickness. The Day Tripper sits you back a little more, and is lower then the Vintage. At 5'11"- 32 inch inseam the wide Vintage fits me great.

I have had 3 mustang wide vintage seats on 3 different bikes, hard to beat. Had a daytripper for a short time, IMHO it was barely better than stock, thin, skinny, and short. I do weight 208. On my current ride the vintage wide moved me up and back, had to change bars.

I just ordered the Vintage, not the wide. I'm replacing a Corbin which is 11'' wide. The wide vintage is 15'' and the vintage is 12.5''.
I just couldn't see putting the wide on it. I'm 5'11'' and 200#, big belly, narrow ***. Should be here Friday, I'll post a report next week.

Have used the vintage for a few weeks on my 48. Very comfortable on the rear end. However, 1 concern I have is that it has put me further back. I feel like I need to huch over more to reach the bars. 30" inseam, 15.5 sleeve, 5'10".
