Seat Choices
Greetings Everyone!
I just upgraded from an XG750 to a FLHCS 114 here about 4 months ago and am in the process of getting the new bike all situated for long rides. After one longer ride (about 300 miles round trip), I determined the stock seat has to go. As such, I'm researching between the Harley Hammock and the Mustang Wide Tripper. Anyone have experience with either? I had a Mustang on my 750 and liked it, but am certainly not wedded to it.
Forgive me if someone else has asked this as my Google-fu skills have failed me.
Thanks!

I tried the Mustang and the Hammock at the HD dealership. My wife and I both preferred the Hammock. I had a Hammock on my Limited before and wanted to try it. I now have the HD deluxe. The Hammock was good for us, but we are all built different.

Little change in seating position. A flatter more comfortable seat for me. Narrow in front, so you should be OK.

Plus 1 for the Mustang
No seat is perfect but the Mustang is way better than stock in my opinion

5k miles with Mustang Wide Tripper Seat
I immediately changed from the OE the seat on my 2019 Low Rider when I bought it about a year ago. After trying different seats (not easy), I went with the Mustang Wide Tripper. Noticed the improved quality of the seat pan and seat fabric out of the box. It has been a great choice. The extra width in the butt area and narrow nose are the best of both worlds. My only suggestion is that if I frequently did long trips, I would buy the Wide Tripper with the driver seat removable backrest. Personally, I think the backrest is kinda ugly, but on a long stretch, it would be a plus, and it can be removed when not on long trips.
