Default mustang seat
I just received and put on the mustang wide touring one piece seat yesterday morning. I took the bike out for a 70 mile run, and it felt great. Sits you a bit closer, and a bit higher. Install was a piece of cake. Girlfriend said the passenger pillion was a big improvement. In a word: perfect. I attached some pics.

Looks great. I've ridden Mustang seats exclusively since about 1999.

I found a Mustang wide seat with a backrest on ebay this winter and took it out today and it felt great compared to the stock seat

I'm looking to replace my current seat with a Mustang seat. Glad to see the positive comments!

I added a Mustang with the removable backrest. It's great.

You can go online to www.MustangSeats.com to look at products available and/or phone and purchase the seat directly from Mustang at 1-800-243-1392. Some motorcycle dealers can order the seat for you. I reviewed the products on line and phoned Mustang Seats and purchased a Solo with Driver backrest (79487) and a rear passenger 14" rear seat (79488) for my 2009 Softail Deluxe and am very satisfied with it. I am using my original quick attach/detach rear passenger backrest.
