Mustang Wide Vintage with backrest makes longer rides much more enjoyable. If you get your handlebars just right and add highway pegs you can be cruising down the highway in total comfort or many, many miles.

Here is a good photo:




Woops. Sorry. Wrong pic.

Wow....If I was going to even try and tag along on a ride that long I would be switching to the mustang seat and bring along some maryjane. What, it's legal here in Co.

Incredibly my wife did the same along on her '95 Shadow 600 with stock seat and never once complained about her butt hurting. Her longest day ever was around 300 miles several years back. She loves that bike and refuses to ever move up to something bigger and more comfy. I easily could have gone another 200 miles each day except for deer coming out in the afternoons and the temps getting really chilly.

As they say, if mama's happy!!!! Mine can actually ride the hell out of that bike also so I'm not complaining. Just getting long in the tooth and a bit of a pain to keep running now.
