Agree'd, the Corbin I had wasnt all it was cracked up to be either.. Russell is up in Redding, from you. I'd suggest at least calling them.. Otherwise, I've liked the Mustang on my Sporty..

Default Mustang Seat

I've had both the Mustang wide seat and the regal wide. Believe it or not, the regal top wasn't as comfortable for me. I don't like the material as much.

How is there any answer to this that is anything but subjective?

Nothing wrong with gathering opinions as the OP is doing, but in the final analysis, it all comes down to individual preference.

Well some objective complaints would be to ugly, lack of cushioning, to far forward,to far back, to high,to low, cheap material,or maybe color. Sucks just doesn't describe the issue. Its like asking what jets to use without stating what mods are on a bike.


I have had an 2010 Ultra that to me the seat sucked. Had me sliding forward on every stop and caused my pants to strangle my *****. I did what I did with my low rider, which had a one hour seat, due to cushioning deficiencies. I sent them to Mean City Cycles and had them rebuilt the way I thought they should be. Kept the stock appearance and improved them 100%. I didn't see any seats that I thought would solve those issues and were visually appealing to me.

So why didn't you just say to send it to Mean City Cycles so they could fix it up for him any way he wants???

"Ugly" is objective and "sucks" is subjective.

Got it.

(I think the term you are looking for is "specific", not "objective").

I think we need more cake.
