Just put a Mustang Vintage Solo on my Nightster. It sits me up an inch or so higher and maybe an inch further back giving a more natural seating position. The comfort is greatly increased also. It was absolutely worth the $176 I payed from Dennis Kirk.

I asked mustang directly and they said the seat would move you forward! But everyone who owns one says it moves you back! Which is it?

Would the mustang be as comfortable as a sundowner?
