Default First mod ordered!!!!!

I just got finished ordering my first mod for my new 1200C.....a Mustang seat! The stock seat really hurts my *** after about an hour of riding and isnt the most comfortable to begin with so after researching for a while (i rented the 1200C last year and decided to look for a seat when I get my bike) I decided the wide vintage touring seat was for me. I have a 3 hour ride coming up at the end of this month and I cant wait to try it out!

You will be very satisfied with your choice of seat. It'll look something like this:

That was my first mod too, and that's the seat I chose. I've only tried that one and stock so I can't speak to its quality except in relation to stock.. but I think it's great.

It's all downhill from here buddy.. that bike can be a real money pit if you let it

I received the seat today, installed it then went on a nice 2 hour ride and I wasn't sore at all. I am glad that I went with the mustang seat, it's extremely comfortable and has a very high quality feel to it, waaaaaaaaaaaay better than stock. My *** thanks me, lol.

I think I'm the only guy on the planet that doesn't have a problem with the stock seat? Not like I have this bubble butt a$$ either so I wonder why most find the stock seat uncomfortable? Is there some kind of unconscious subliminal message making scheme ["You are now under my power, buuuwaaaahahahahaaaaaaa!! ~bink~" [that's you] ---> ] to make you spend $$ on certain products on this site that the sponsors pay for? Tucked away and hidden on some splash screen under the "Advertising" section seen just to your right? Hmmmmm, the mind reels...

Utterly rediculous I know, LOL.

Lol no crazy messages from me, I just find the stock seat uncomfortable on rides longer than 30 minutes. Any longer and my *** will be sore, not to mention I think I pinch a nerve by the way the stock seat makes me sit, if I push off the pegs to adjust my position, I get a sharp pain from my foot to my ***.....weird, lol. After riding for over 2 hours on the mustang seat, I didn't seem to have that problem, but with the stock, I'd feel that pain after a half hour or so.
