Default Mustang Seat experience anyone?

I'm getting ready to order a Mustang Solo seat w/backrest for my Heritage Classic -- anyone tried one of these and how is it holding up? Thanks

I had a mustang touring seat on my last bike and loved it. You'll feel like you're sitting a bit more forward than stock until you get it broken in (1000 mi or so) but after that it's great. I liked it so much I bought one for the road glide while the bike was still on order.

Got one on my Fat Boy. I have a bad back and went through several seats before I got the Mustang. You won't be disapointed with quality, comfort, and looks!

I've got a Mustang Daytripper on my Fatboy. It's great. Right out of the box it's pretty darn comfortable. I can't wait till I get 1000 miles on it so it's really broke in. I still like my corbin solo better, but it'd a good seat.

just put a solo with backrest on my deuce. I love it. It does sit you forward and up a bit from stock, but not much.

Just got a Mustang wide solo with backrest and pass seat last week. I only have one ride on it so far, but I can tell it's much more comfortable than the stock seat. It does move you up just a little. It seems like it is a little lower and a little wider, so now unless I move up on the seat I'm not flat footed at stops. Quality is top notch. You might want to check out www.bikerhaven.net they had the best prices I could find.

I had a Mustang on my '95 Roadking. I switched to the Corbin and found that I liked it better. The leather seat breathes and doesn't get as hot as the vinyl.

The Corbin was still in great shape when I sold the bike. I saw my old Mustang not long ago, and it didn't look so good. Tears in the vinyl and the padding showing. Maybe it wasn't taken very good care of, but it sure looked ratty.

Regards,

Bill
