I don't know if folks realize but at least when I bought my Mustang, I had the option of OEM or frame bolt on. I chose the frame as I think it is certainly much more secure and I got rid of the two large bolts which I personally hated...just FYI.
Have a Mustang seat that I absolutely love. Can run solo as well and my Mustang attaches at the frame so I did away with the two OEM bolts and got a fender bib so its nice and clean when I run solo. Have a couple of solo pics in my album if you care to look.
P.S.- don't know if you got a bad seat or what but I swear by Mustang and every one of my friends does as well. Such a huge difference over stock and can go for 500 miles/day! (only did it once but my butt was fine!....I have the removable backrest as well)
If going to a more sleek design is not a concern why not just have a stock seat re-worked? There are some threads here by people who swear by the comfort and the price isn't bad at all.
I'd do it but stock seats are too bulky for my style.
