Which Seat???????????
I am sure it is up to the individual but I am asking for advise all the same. You guys have way more miles than I on a Bike and from everything I read there is a lot of GOOD advice and experience on here. I will make the rest of this short and sweet.
2007 Street Glide, Thunder Header 2-1, SERT, Hog Tunes on order (shipped today), Clearview 8" with recurve on order (6-8 weeks out [
])
Need to add solo seat now hat wife has her own ride
. I am 6' tall, was 280, now 267 and am going to around 250 or so.
Corbin? Mustang? Other?
Backrest?
Thanks

Mustang hands down. Have had three of them. I put one on the Ultra about 500 miles ago and like it. I am 6'1" and 34 inseam. The seat puts me up 1" and its noticeable. I also have the footboard pans that move about 1" forward. Like my riding position!

RE: Which Seat???????????
I replaced the stock seat on my 06 SG with a solo Danny Gray Big Seat. Added custom stitching and biker gel and I love it. It's equipped for a backrest, but I didn't get it. That will most likely be one of my next purchases though. I also got the matching passenger pillion for when I need it. I rode 250 miles last weekend and I enjoyed the whole ride. Felt good. Go to the Danny Gray web sit or call them directly. sherry there is great to deal with. I'm 5'10 190 and it sits me a tad (what a word) lower than the stock. Sharp looking seat too.
Good Luck.

Corbin without a doubt. Solo w/ Pilion. Buy it on e-bay cheap as many people buy them and it is one of those you love it or hate it. I love mine and always find them for hundreds less on E bay in new condition

Mustang hands down.
I have had both a Mustang & a Corbin on my 04 RK Custom & I never really liked the Mustang.
I had both seats for a while & switched back & forth. I eventually sold the Mustang on ebay.
Not only was the Corbin leather much more comfortable (Mustangs only come in vinyl), I think it looks better. The Mustang leaves all the ugly frame welds exposed instead of covering them like the Corbin or a stock Harley seat does.
The Corbin sits lower & a little farther back than the Mustang(I felt like I was sitting on the tank with the Mustang)

May sound ridiculous, but I bought a new H-D Sundowner and immediately sent it to Allen at Mean City Cycles to modify it for me. Have just gotten it back so don't know about 6+ hour rides yet, but everything I've heard is good.

RE: Which Seat???????????
It's really a personal preference question. I've had Mustangs on 4 Harleys and love them. And, yes... get teh backrest!
Look is also preferencail (sp?). I also prefer the look of narrow Mustang nose ~ the one that "leaves all the ugly frame welds exposed instead of covering them like the Corbin or a stock Harley seat does"....
Different strokes!
