Wow.....what a difference. I added the Mustang solo seat with rider backrest today on my '09 fatbob and man what an unbelieveable difference. I only thought I liked my bike before but now I love it 
LOL. I'm glad I took everyone's advice and tried the Mustang. Install took all of about 5 minutes and I was able to put about 100 miles on it. Before I could only ride the bike 75 miles or so and then I would need to stop. I think with this seat I'll be able to ride tank to tank. Thanks again!

Dennis Kirk has some very good deals on Mustang seats, that's where I bought mine.

Looking forward to those pics. How does the seat affect riding position and distance from the pegs? Do you have mids? I have mids on my FXDB, and any seat that pushes me forward, tends to cramp my legs. Currently, while I love my seat (Drag Spec Spoon Style Seat), the look, and the ride, recently on a 200 mile ride, it did get a bit rough on the hindquarters since it is a very firm seat. I think mostly because of the stock suspension and how truly brutal it makes hitting any bumps. On a side note, I have to say, in my 15 years of riding, I have never ridden a bike with worse rear suspension. Feels like a hardtail to be honest, so I'm also interested to hear about your rear shock opinion after the change...
