The '08 and older seats (and backrests BTW) will go on the new bikes but they don't fit correctly as already pointed out above. Mustang is hard at work as we speak getting the new '09 touring model seats and backrests developed and fabricated.
I sure wouldn't put an older one on my $20K bike. January is the target month.

Bingo.
The seat will FIT on the bike, but while the front tab and the rear bolt will attach, the seat is not being supported underneath, as the rubber bumpers are hanging in the air and not making contact with the frame.
So if/when your seat pan cracks, don't blame the company. They warned you.

09s have tab on frame not a slot in frame. I put a Corbin from my 01 on my 09 by removing the tab from the seat. the rubber bumpers fit correctly. i used heavy duty velcro to secure the front of the seat to the frame near the gas tank. the passenger hand strap is very secure in stabilizing the seat. i have put 1K miles on it with no movement.

Do you work for Orange County Choppers? LOL
Of course I know guys with choppers that the seat just sits there on the frame.
Not actually held on by anything.

Thanks for all the info. I did call Mustang today and they said they could possibly have the seats ready in December but there's a long waiting list.

I just received my new 2009 Mustang 76032 sport touring seat for my flhx. I had another sport touring seat on my '05 CVO SEEG over the last couple of years and really liked it.
However this new seat sits an inch higher and the nose is wide enough to where I've lost that feet flat on the ground ability. Kinda disappointed, but with feet up it's as good as they come...crazy comfortable with really good lower back support.
I called Alex at Mustang and to my surprise he agrees...yup '09 seats are sitting about an inch higher due to the electronics sitting under the seat now. Hmmm...an '08 Mustang, 76210, seems to fit everything under the pan, but feels more like the older sport touring seats...lower and narrower. Millers in Daytona has one and I tried it.
Anyone have one other than me..?? If so, what's your opinion..?
