Mustang Cyclone seat installed
Some pics and a review of the mustang cyclone seat. Ordered the seat from west end motorsports and took about 3 weeks to get to me. They said they were on back order. Either way, got the seat in and came to mount it up and ran into my first problem. The cyclone is a 2 piece, there is a seat pan that you have to mount the seat to, then you mount the whole thing on the bike. Well one of the supplied screws weren't long enough to mount the seat to the pan. Called up mustang and the guy told me to go to the hardware store and buy a longer screw, which I did, but I figured a company like mustang would have offered some better support esp after I just spent 300 bucks on one of there seats. Any who, got a longer screw and got this bad boy mounted up. I was looking for a seat that would allow me to sit further back than stock as I always found myself sitting on the very back edge of the stock seat which hurt. The Cyclone deff sits me lower and further back...prob a inch or so both ways. But the way that the seat it shaped I can sit on the very back edge and it's still very comfortable. The seat is very thin but very comfortable. I think I'm gonna go for an old school kinda look...might get the white wall shinko's and possibly some 14" apes...how do ya'll think that'll look?

The seat has the distressed black leather inserts. I didn't get a pic of everything unmounted but they have some on mustangs site. I was told by a mustang rep thru email that the position of the seat was adjustable but it is not. It must be for other models but not the Dyna. Even tho the seat is very thin it is very comfortable. The overall shape is smaller but more supportive than stock.

Seems to have a lot less seat space than my Corbin Hollywood Solo (not in my sig photo), but I like the look of it. I will be interested how it works for you on long rides. The Corbin is a lot better than the stock for long rides but after a couple of back to back 500 mile days I get the same sore tail bone as stock as I still seem to be pushed back where my tail bone is pushed up against the back of the seat. Have you put any real mileage on yours yet? It seems with that seat being smaller your tail bone would be hitting the back of the seat and you would be pushed forward which wouldn't work for me. Interested in this though.

It is a lot shorter than other seats, but seems to mount further back. The way it attaches to the bike leaves some space between the tank and the seat as it actually uses the tank bolt to attach to the bike. I'll get some pics of that and how much space there is from the original solo mounting point. The longest I've been on it was about an hour when I first put it on so I wasn't really used to it yet but I didn't encounter any cramping or soreness. I had a sick saddles for a while and that one dug into my tail bone pretty good, and the stock seat didn't really dig in per say, but just the overall shape of it bothered me. With the cyclone I can pretty much sit anywhere and not have anything digging into me which is nice. I'm a tall guy(6'5" with long arms) and I also have my risers flipped to push the bars about in inch forward and I also have the kury extended forward controls and the seat feels great. I put some mid mount pegs on a while ago just to give me a different spot to put my legs if I need to, and the weird thing is that when I put my legs on the mid mounts with the stock seat it made the seat bearable, but the cyclone feels better when I'm on the forwards. Might just be how my *** likes it.
