Default Installed new seat

Installed a new Mustang Vintage Wide Touring Seat (76143) today.
So much better than the stock seat with its padding.
Raised me up about 1-1/2 inches, didn't notice any big difference in
the fore and aft position.
I'm 6ft, 200lbs, long legs.
Took about 5 minutes to install, even with my limited abilities.
All in all, I know I'm really going to appreciate this addition.
Next will be mounting the Zumo 550 and putting some Hyperlites in the back.
And that should just about do it.
