Default Mustang Seat Question

Ride a RK Standard and I can just flat foot it at a stop.

Ordered the Solo Mustang seatwith backrest (79102).

Have done a search and read many posts about the Mustang seat. Have read both ways, some say it raises them up others say lower.

My question is, does the Mustang Solo (79102) raise you up or sit you lower?

Thanks............

That seat will lower you and move you forward slightly.
The exact amount I'm not sure of, but I think it's 2 inches down and 1 inch forward.
I have the one with no rider backrest hole, same seat I believe.

Thank you Dogwood for the information. The seat I ordered should be in one day this week and I was concerned it was going to sit me up to high. Thanks again........

The narrower pan alone gives you the knee bend you're looking for.
