Anyone use either or both of these seats...what is your opinion on comfort and how did the seat change your riding position (raised, pushed your forward or back, etc.)? Any advice good, bad, or indifferent is appreciated.

I currently have Mustang Wide Tripper Solo with backrest and looking for more comfort with backrest. Was leaning towards Mustang but someone brought up Corbin which appears comfortable with customization options but a lot pricier. Even with Mustang, I believe there is the Vintage solo and the Wide Vintage solo....and maybe the Wide Touring solo...so not sure what the differences are.

If you are using Air Hawk seat pads or HD circulator seat pads on their seat, how do you like it?

Thanks for your input!

 

Corbin are as hard as a rock. Break in if the seat ever does, takes forever.

 

Thanks Guzzi....I know you have a Mustang. What is the difference between Vintage, Wide Vintage, and Wide Touring. I believe the Wide Vintage is 2" wider than the Vintage..correct? Both have vintage braided welts.

 

Mustang tripper: 11" width, 2" thick foam pad
Mustang stripper wide: 12" width, 2" thick foam pad, 2004-2006, 2010-2017, no tail to cover ECM on 2007-2009
Mustang vintage: 12.5 width, 3" thick foam pad
Mustang wide touring vintage: 14.5 width, 3" thick foam pad

 

I have a Corbin on the SG and the Sporty and like both a lot. I will agree that at first there hard but in time the seat is awesome. I did a 532 mile ride one day and my fourth point of contact wasn't sore at all.

 

I just read a thread on seat pads which may solve my issue at a much lower price point...anyone use Air Hawk pads or HD circulator pads on their seats?

 

I would suggest not being penny-wise and pound-foolish... not saying you are but... for a few hundred $'s extra get the best seat. Otherwise you end up spending $'s on something you regret and selling here for half price while soaking you butt in epsom salts

 

LOL...perhaps.

I really am not looking for cheap, just looking for a solution for a more comfortable ride. Heard the air hawk works as long as you do not over-inflate. Also "best" is subjective so what may be best for you may not be for the next person.

From what I got on this forum, most if not all who have the Mustang Vintage Solo have only good things to say about them which is where I am leaning but would like to find out opinions on the air hawk seat pad...$107 vs $450 - it is part of my cost and benefit analysis. Keep in mind that I already have a mustang wide tripper solo with backrest $450 so all I am missing is 1" of padding.

Thanks

 

I have the Mustang and like it just fine. I plan on keeping it for as long as I ride.

 

Thanks...perfect!
