I have had a few and settled on the mustang. It was good for 500 miles and did not need modified. I have heard others would be good too if they were gelled.

I like my Mustang solo(79278) and use the backrest on long trips which is a lifesafer !

Do you Mustang owners find the seat pushing you forward and up?

+1 on the Mustang seat.

Yes I did find that the mustang pushed me forward a little. But this was really only with the back rest in. If you have floorboards you have 2 options to move your floorboards further forward to make up for the seat. Take a look here for about 2 inches... https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softail-models/170637-sonar_chris-please-read.html or here for another 2 inches https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softail-models/281183-new-way-to-get-even-more-room-with-your-floorboards-kind-of-long.html

Default Fix the seat

I have a LePera Bare Bones that felt like I was sitting on a damn phone pole. I loved the look so I took it to "Slim" in Lee's Summit, MO. He took it apart, made adjustments and it rides great now.
