Default Great seat customization job

I have a Mustang Wide Touring solo seat on my Dyna, which fits my somewhat oversized *** perfectly. Can ride all day no problem. I have a slim passenger seat, though I never really ride 2-up, but I like to have the option if needed. Anyway, I wanted one on my FXR, but they only come in the one piece version which comes with a hideously oversized passenger seat. Adding insult to injury, the passenger seat has an overhang which presses into my lower back in a very uncomfortable manner. I had to find a way to reshape the passenger seat to match that on my Dyna. So I called up Mustang, to see if they could do something, nope. Tried Mean City and was also told they wouldn't. I then tried Astech seats, which was recommended by a friend. They said they could, so off it went. About a month later (today) it just arrived today. They did an outstanding job, so I just wanted to share another happy vendor experience.

Dyna seat used as the model:




Original FXR Mustang (Ignore the silly flamed side cover - it was a $20 ebay pickup to temporarily replace the original one I gave to a paint shop to use to match the CVO paint for my fairing)





Reworked Mustang:



PERFECT match to the slim passenger 2 piece seat on the Dyna. So, if you need some seat work, I highly recommend Astech Seats...

Is it removable so that you can do the solo look? Looks awesome!!!

No, that’s the whole problem. It’s a one piece seat. They don’t make that seat in Solo for the FXR. Otherwise I would have got the same combo as the Dyna.

Thanks though.
