i see a bunch of yhose on marketplace, theres a handful on pittsburgh area marketplace currently. im fairly certain all the mustangs put you down at least an inch and back a couple. im not saying dont get a lowdown because they seem to have high turnover, im saying check marketplace and craigslist first because you might find one that just didnt work for someone at a bargain.

Softer was probably a bad choice for a word. Mean City doesn't sell seats they rebuild and make them better. www.meancitycycles.com

Better passenger comfort on a Streetglide = installing a Touring (bagger) seat.

I tried a new Mustang super Tour on my '19 electra Std. when I bought the bike new but the wife thought it was too firm for her,then I picked up a Hammock and we've both been very pleased with it.

Went with a used touring seat that I bought on this site for a hundred bucks. To me, it is ugly on the bike, but it is comfortable for my Mrs. I put it on along with the tourpac when she wants to ride and take it off and run a Street Glide seat when solo.

Another vote for the Touring seat.

Airhawks can also help, as well as sheepskins.

Biggest thing to take into consideration is The Comfort Triangle (2 of the 3 apply to the passenger also)

Here's a vid on it -

I had EG Classic seat felt great but looked ugly and sat high, so I bought Street Glide seat and would switch once a while. Then bought a Street Glide but I don't think I could look at that ugly EG seat on my Street Glide, plus sits higher. Street looks cool sets nice, rides a bit harder, I'll get used to it or have Mean City rebuild it for more comfort.

I bought a hammock seat for the rear passenger confomt, and haven't looked back. It was also 100x nicer than the stock seat for me too

My wife loves the LePera Maverick. She doesn’t feel the seat pan ever. She’s about 5’9” 170#. I also like the way the seat feels and its contoured looks on my SG.

Does it change how you sit on bike at all? Is it worth 500 bucks compared to stock for you also?
