Default Seat info please??

OK im having a hard time pulling the trigger on new saddle. I hate buying things with out checking them out first. Nobody seems to keep seats in stock so have to buy blind. I have done numerous searches on the subject guess it comes down to mustang daytripper or ccseat the sport touring. Can anybody give me some first hand reviews please. Going to be on an 06 custom ride 2 up frequently. Tia

I had the Mustang Daytripper on my 09 1200L but changed to the Mustang vintage solo the solo is a much better ride, either is way better than stock.

I can tell you to stay away from the Reach seat from Harley. I installed one on my wifes old Sporty and she said it pushed in her crotch area so much that it hurt. It is due to the shape of the seat at the tank.

Really love my new Corbin, but its a solo saddle. Personally, I will probably get a Mustang solo with detachable pillion seat for longer rides with my girly... I hear nothing but good things about the Mustangs.

went from the upgraded sporty seat to the day tripper... better but not good enough for me and the +2. from there to the wide mustang, and that one is great. they make a few diff models (one piece for front and back or you can buy front and back separately). perfect for me - no more butt time restrictions- and my +2 gives it a thumbs up. she is good on the back for over an hour now.

go to some local hog meets - talk to guys with diff seats and most will let you sit on them. a quick sit wont tell you what the seat is like after an hour of riding, but it will give you a clue.
