Default Which to go with??

Ok well been reading forums for months and decided to join.. I have narrowed the next upgrade on my custom to a seat but which one, c&c 2up sport touring or mustang sport touring? So many choices... Comfort is key!!!

I have riden neither. But, with that said I would support the more custom of the two and go with c&c. I chose lepera. But I picked looks over comfort. Although comfort on mine is not bad at all.

I have had a HD badlander, Corbin Gunfighter and Lady and a HD Softail Standard Seat before getting my C & C Fastback. The C & C is the best of the bunch IMO.

Give them a call if you need custom work , it is my understanding that the owner Chuck used to work for Mustang before opening C & C

Order from Drew at Dr V Twin and save some $

I agree, out of the two I would go for the C&C. I prefer the custom look over the comfort. Mustangs are just too big and bulky for my taste and just seem like they belong on a touring bike. While some may like that look, its just not for me.

I'm waiting for C&C and LePera to send me samples to match them to the bike. I'm going Solo, then I'm going back to stock for 2-up with wifey.

Depends on two things - how far (time in the saddle) you plan to ride, and your definition of comfort. The C&C seats are excellent for short and mid-range rides, but for me get a bit uncomfortable once I get close to maybe 100 miles straight. The Mustang will allow me, and the wife, to ride several hundred miles straight with only gas stops.

I love my C&C seats (have the solo and the sport tour) and more often than not they are on the bike, but when we are planning a longer ride the Mustang usually gets the call.

Awsome advised so far... Basically looking for style with the bonus of comfort.. Most of the ride should be a couple hundred miles give or take and of course the in town ridin.. I'm leaning towards c&c, with all the info on the net.

Mustang has lived up to the expectations for my wife and myself.
We do 300+ miles a day with no butt issues.
