Default Mustang Seat Question

I am currently riding with a HD Sundowner seat and am ok with the seat height and relative position to the handlebars. I also own a Mustang Solo that I am not using because it sits me to far back.
I do like the way the Mustang seats feel on my butt so I am thinking of buying a one piece touring seat, maybe the sport tourer.
I would like to hear from those with experience with the one piece seats as far as seating position. Do they sit you higher, lower, forward or way back etc.

On my 09 ultra classic the mustang one piece regal touring seat sits you up higher than stock and about the same distance to the grips as the stock seat.

^^ to Flying ace's link. Mustang also has a super touring seat out now and they really sit you down and back. I am going for the standard touring seat as well.

I have a 2up Mustang Ultra Touring and it sits lower than my stock for sure i would say it sat me about the same distance from the handle bars.

I have a Mustang Solo and love it.

BUT.. I couldn't use a two-up Mustang as they are too wide and dig into my inner thighs, and spread me open. Very painful.

Look at their web site for the actual measurements.

I'll be buying a passenger seat from Mustang to match my Solo and that's what I would recommend.

At least try one first.

I have a Mustang solo, with the backrest, on my 07 RKC. The more I ride, the more I like it! It did sit me back about an 1 1/2, and down about an inch. Perfect for me.

About how much higher and does it make you feel as though you are sitting on the bike as opposed to in the bike?

I had a similar experience with my Solo, pushed me back about 1 1/2 but it felt that it also raised me up as compared to my Sundowner. your experience was that it lowered you.
