RE: mustang vintage?
Hey Ash, I just bought the Mustang vintage solo (non-wide) for my Bob. I LOVE it!! VERY comfy when riding alone. Much better than the stock solo, though I never really found that to be uncomfotable...
I also have a Sundowner for 2-up longer trips. I find there really isn't much difference in comfort for the rider between the Sundowner and the vintage solo. I can't judge the add-on passenger seat for the Mustang though, since I have never experienced it.
My own opinion is if youride or plan to ride solo most of the time, the Mustang solo is one of the most atractive and comfortable solo seats out there I think - for the $$ anyway. If you take your time and look around this forum and ebay, youmay eventually find a used sundowner for cheap $$ too.

RE: mustang vintage?
That squareback just doesn't look comfy to me. I do like the back support though. It the rider seating area really comfy? Is it soft? I put a stock seat on from a SG Custom, and it sucks on any long rides. Rode 250 this weekend, and I could barely walk.

i agree the stock seat sucked, just as well sat on the fender. The squareback is pretty comfy to me i had the HD touring seat on it before & this 1 is just as comfy. If you order it straight from mustang they give u a 10 day return policy so there is an option to return it if you don't like it.

Here's my 2008 Lowrider with a "non-wide" solo. This is the studded and fringed version of the Vintage. But, it is the same seat. I have a 32 waist and it fits and feels great. Just as importantly, it looks great. I think the wide seat would look kind of funny.

RE: mustang vintage?
I have the Mustang Vintage solo regular width and love it -- easy 250 miles with no discomfort, assuming a couple of stops to stretch, etc. I'm 6' and 185 lbs and it fits me great and looks great too! I have short legs (29" inseam) and absolutely no problem sitting flat footed at stops. Mustangs are very well made and great customer service.

Right now I have:
Studded Solo #76106
Vintage Wide #79358 w/Rear seat 79137
Could not make up my mind.
But I now know I do not want studs as my saddle bags do not have them.HD Forum Stories

RE: mustang vintage?
i have the regular (non-wide) solo and the medium-width pillion.
and i'm no small bloke - 6'2"/195lbs.
the foam is dense and hard, back support is excellent, especialy with the p-pad installed.
the medium-width p-pad is exactly the width of the stock '06 Bob fender.
here are some views:
