Default best Mustang seat for a big guy on a 1200 mile trip

Making a trip from CA to Montana and don't really want to do it on my LePara bare bones. Corbin is an hour away so I willvisit them but I will consider Mustang too just don't know what style to look at. I'm. 6'4" and 275lb on a FXST. Any advice will help.

Picked up my mustang wide solo with backrest last september. Big difference for me especially the backrest.

You cant go wrong with the Mustang vintage wide. My Boney rear uses the regular vintage and I can go all day withot any problems.

Mustang. We take road trips and a 300 mile day is easy with no butt issues on the Mustang.

Backrest makes a huge difference in comfort. I've got a Mustang Wide Touring Vintage Solo with backrest on my 09 FLSTF. Great Seat!

I’ve had Mustang seats for years on all my bikes.
Comfortable as you can get in my book.

The Vintage wide is great but a too wide for a FXST. I have the Sport Tour with backrest & it's comfortable & looks great. I'm not sure if they still make it or it may be re-badged under the Vintage line.
