Anyone have this seat yet? Is it just as good as the RSD Cafe Seat? I know Mustang is producing the RSD Cafe Seat, and this looks alost identical in shape and form, minus a few details, of course. I'm trying to determine whether or not the RSD is worth $90 more.

I don't have this seat, but I do own a Mustang seat. Seeing as how comfortable just about all Mustang seats are, and if this one is $90 less than a similar seat, I'd say go with the Mustang seat.

I like the grip of the Mustang solo seat, and would imagine this has the same material as a cover. I'm just looking for a change for my new 48 because the stock seat leaves a LOT to be desired (read: comfort).

Yeah, from the looks of the stock 48 seat I couldn't imagine it being too comfortable. I have the Mustang Tripper which is a slimmed down seat, and it is very comfortable. I'd say go with the Mustang seat.

That's a vinyl (not cloth) cover, right?

You obviously haven't bought an aftermarket seat then!

I have a Mustang seat for my Supelow and love it! We also have one on our Heritage. If you've ever ridden very many miles on a seat that kills your rearend, you would gladly dish out $300 or even more for a comfortable ride. Anyone interested in buying a Mustang seat might want to check with Westend Motor Sports first. I was able to save some money by buying mine from them. Right now they have a Presidents day sale - use the coupone code "Mustang5" when checking out to save an extra 5%. WDHGS, not sure if they carry the one that you are looking for but it might be worth looking at their website to see.
