How about a custom-made seat? Russell Day-Long comes to mind.

Yep. I got mine and went 2600 miles in 4 days without breaking it in and it was super comfy. Model #76067. I'm 6'5" 185lbs. and 36" inseam.

I have a mustang super touring, I cannot take long trips on it and the fender fluffy wife cannot either. Just ordered a Day-Long, expensive but it has a money back guarantee.

One suggestion. Be careful where you buy your seat, many places will not let you return and you won't know if you like it till you try it. I'd suggest Dennis Kirk. They were very good about exchanging seats from Mustang for me. Good Luck.

Love my Mustang Vintage Solo. Drivers backrest helps my back for long rides too. I then use the drivers backrest and move it back when I have a passenger.
