I have a Le Pera Daytona Sport that is comfortable and looks great but my wife hates riding on it. So I purchased a Mustang Vintage Touring seat that I received yesterday..sitting on it feels great but I haven't ridden with it yet, but people post they are very comfortable. Here is the bike with both seats..

IMHO Mustang seats are great. Replaced my 2017 XL1200T seat with the Vintage Solo and am very happy with it.

Everyone loves the mustang vintage solo, and the price is nice for sure. Just got mine a few weeks ago - super nice and easy install (switching from dual to solo seat), and very comfortable

Let us know your thoughts after a ride. Do you sit back a bit further with the Mustang?

Yes it feels like I am back a bit from the Le Pera.

I have the Le Pera Daytona also, but mine is diamond stitched. I agree with tomcat, it's comfortable for me, but my wife hates it

I have the LePera Aviator which is really comfortable to me but it's only a solo seat. So if you're planning on passengers I wouldn't recommend it.

I have a Mustang Vintage Wide solo on my my '06. So comfortable, but I wish they offered it in tuck and roll or diamond stitch.
