People with either of the 2 options outside of the mustang touring, how's the comfort compared to the stock seat? Thanks in advance


If you’re going for comfort try the stock seat for awhile before you spend any money. I bought a Saddleman then ended up switching back to stock because it was more comfortable

Ordered Oberon adjustable levers today to help with the clutch and brake lever reach. Just a bit too far for me.
Also order extended turn signal switch covers from HD.

Saturday should be a wrenching day!
