I just got the wide with rider backrest, and it's fantastic.

I have the wide with the passenger pillion because that's what I found when searching for a replacement for the stock 2x4.

As far as comfort goes, I don't think you can beat it. I did a few 250+ mile days without issue. I would prefer the standard width for looks.

I'm gonna look for a Lepera bare bones for solo riding.

Got my wide with back rest today, the regular would probably look better, but it looks OK.. I think it would look better if I had the 4.3gal tank. But I'm not spending money on that.

I've been running the Wide Vintage for a couple of years now. The bigger seat makes a big difference on those 400 - 500 mile days.

I just ordered a standard width Mustang Solo yesterday. I'm sure the Wide would be more comfortable but I just couldn't get over how big it looks on the bike.

Suprisingly my XL50 seat is pretty comfy for 2up riding so I have been trying to find a good solo seat. I have been through a handful of solo seats and I'm hoping the Mustang will be a keeper.
