Studded Sundowner Bucket seems to be woring for me so far.

Rode 780 miles round trip to Hot Springs and back this past weekend.


It is much bettet than Stock however, I may still be looking for some improvement.

Overall much beter than stock........


I really dont think anyone makes a good seat from what I hear from the guys on the road.

Find the one your tush likes best I guess.....

Thread I started about mustangs.. https://www.hdforums.com/m_691786/tm.htm
As you'll see, I got one installed and breaking it in.. sofar, have never sat on a more comfortable seat.. period.
solo seats and matching rear seats in either wide or standard width with studds and conchos or without.
Nicely done.. far cry from stock seat quality level and construction.

I have a Corbin classic solo and classic backrest.....It is hard, but a very nice ride. 10,000 miles on it so far.

I have the mustang wide solo, great for the back but a little hard after 2 hours or more.

The HD seat is junk!!! You think that as much as I had to pay for my 06 FLSTCI it would come with a good seat, I'm getting a Corbin dual touring seat with studs to match the rest of the bike.

And what's scary is the stock heritage seat is actually far more comfortable than the stock fatboy seat.. it's a brick.
Flip a stock HD seat over, any seat, and you'll see a plastic plate with the 'pleather' stretched and just stapled to the seat.

Flip over a mustang and it's riveted to a metal plate (depending on the model), and there are bumper buttons that the seat sits on rather than just laying on the frame of the bike.. QUALITY. Corbins also have the rivets.. well made.

My vote is for Mustang wide solo with backrest. The stock seat can't hold a candle to the Mustang.
