What he said.....79532 is the part number I bought. 17.5" wide studded solo w/backrest. The Sundowner that I also have seats me considerably lower than the Mustang and I sit back about the same as stock on it. The Mustang brings me forward and up from the Sundowner, and fits my 30" inseam better. I can reach the rear brake better with the Mustang. The backrest is a big plus. It's only been on there a few days and I already love the adjustable back support.

Thank all for so much guidance and suggestions
I'm in touch with Mustang Europe and they are preparing a cost and also the local HD dearlership has a Sundowner to get up close and personal with, shame it is not for my bike but at least I can get a look at the thing
Will be in touch when I get this sorted

My Mustang seat part #79534 (without studs but it is available with studs) then I got the 11 in#79535 rear seat for the ladies!! It has been a great seat! I think im gonna get a Air Hawk Pad for those 1000 mile rides! This seat also compliments the lines of the bike! it exposes the fiull chrome fender strut so I think it adds style also!

I have a '92 Fatboy with the stock seat and after about half an hour I can't feel my azz. I just ordered a Mustang Wide Vintage studded solo seat with the matching passenger seat.
I don't think softness is the most important factor in seat comfort. I think the shape of the seat is what makes it comfortable. I read somewhere that the more they are shaped like a tractor seat the more comfortable they are.
Remember those old solid steel tractor seats, with no padding? You could sit on them all day.
I find the Mustang seat is the one that mostly resembles a tractor seat. While my stock Fatboy seat is wide, it is convex on top while the Mustang is more concave. I think this will make the difference.

Thanks for all your ideas so far, keep them coming
I guess 100 to 125 miles is what I'm looking for, so about 2 - 2.5 hours before a refreshment break
We will need to cover 250 - 300 a day on the trip
My mate just phoned me and he has it on good authority that a Sundowner seat in the Harley custom catalogue is meant to be the answer.
Any thoughts on these seats
