Seat for my FXSTS
Just got this bike in trade last month and I love it but the seat sucks. Springer converted to a wide glide. It feels like a box edge is protruding in the curve of the seat right by my tailbone. I have a profiler seat but that has even less cushion. I have always heard good things about mustang seats. Anyone have any pics with one on their bike? I am hoping they dont look too bulky. The make a 14 inch and a wide 17 inch. Anyone have a chance to compare?

I like Corbins for what it's worth lespaul.Ihave a fast gunfighter on the Train and a classic solo on my Bad Boy. they are all day seats with plenty of back support. Tried one Mustang and found it too soft after a 150 miles.Rode it for 5k and still not happy with it. I hack up songs on a Studio Standard.Love lespauls.G.

Another thing to consider is going to a shop an have your seat redone. I've talked to a guy at a swap meet about doing mine. He said a basic repad an recover is 100 to 150. He said he could do memory foam or gel foam, reshape an increase/decrease padding. It's cheaper than a new seat an if you want to add a little custom look you can have the stitching color match the bike or add a pattern for extra cash.
