Default Mustang Seat Question

Riding an 05 Heritage Classic with stock seat. I want to replace the seat with something that will move me a little more forward. Does anybody know if the Mustang 17.5 Solo with back rest will do that... or another seat that will.

mustang says it wont move you but most find they sit more upright and it feels closer. I love my 17.5

I've been happy with the stock seat on my Heritage but wanted a backrest. Couldn't justify the Mustang setup so I went with the Firehouse Customs backrest. I found that it moved me forward about an inch.

I wanted the back support but the moving forward was a big plus. I'm still thinking about getting some new bars with more pullback.

You could also check with mean city cycles. I believe they still have a thread at the bottom of this forum. They customize your seat to your specs. From everything I've read they work wonders and are great to deal with.
