I loved the seat modifications made by MCC to the previous seats I had... I have been meaning to send the stock one from the Slim to them... have had to cancel twice (loosing the 25.00 deposit)... now that I have the mustang seat, I am planning to finally send it... I love the looks of the stock seat over anything else out there... if I can also have the comfort it will be a win-win. Based on the work on the other seats, I have no doubt it will have the same outcome with the Slim seat.

The only thing is that they can't stitch to the pan like the original is... so the seat cover is wrapped around the pan and held under it. I hope that makes sense.

I took mine to an upholsterer and had it done to fit me. I used gelfoam. 1 of my favorite mods on my bike. The cost is just about the same as mass made seats too.

I use a Corbin on my slim. I sit about 1.5" higher and not further forward.

This is my take:

You will be more comfortable in a wider seat. I can feel more of my butt and thighs spreading out my weight distribution more evenly, whereas the stock seat looks great, but supports you via your upper butt crack only. This caused me to not be able to stand up straight for a few minutes after riding more than 40 minutes.

Corbin works for me. Ive seen no pain/issues in my length of rides. usually 2 hours

I've used a airhawk cruiser seat on my stock seat. This worked but it is "butt" ugly and probably looks better on a rice burner.

Hands down the Mustang was far more comfortable. The Saddleman is better looking and a big improvement in comfort over stock, but for any extended riding I will use the Mustang. Attached is a Pic of the Mustang seat on the Slim S


Any chance this seat is available for 2014 Slim. I only seen wide tripper on their site. What about your position are you way closer on this seat

It moved me very slightly closer than stock and about 1/2" higher. I am 6' tall with a 32 inseam. It was not an issue for me at all.

It will fit the 2014 Slim. Mustang Part Number: 76752

They are hard to find right now. I know a dealer that has 2 more in stock in the DFW area. PM me if you want contact Info
