Default Seat replacement for Cross Bones

Hi all,

I'm considering a handful of small changes to the bike and one of them is a seat replacement. Comfort is important, so I'm thinking Mustang. Never had one myself, but I hear they set the standard.

Thoughts/advice? Thanks in advance.

Had a Corbin on my chopper and it was way more comfortable than the badlander on my Night Train. That being said I'm probably going to get a Mustang for the NT because I don't know if the Corbin locking system will work with my luggage rack.

I used to have a flhrs and tried about 3 differents seats on that, nothing fit my big *** comfortably. I have a lower profile sprung seat on my bones, best seat I ever had. But different strokes for different folks....

I hate the look but as far as comfort and seating position i really like the
mustang 79530

Now i just need to figure out what sprung seat put's me closest to this position / comfort.
