Default Mustang Seat

I have searched and searched and have come up with nothing useful. I am looking for pics of a touring bike with a mustang 2 piece seat on it. My wife is buying me the solo for Christmas and I am stumped as to which pillion to purchase. I was leaning towards the thin 8 1/2 inch pillion but I would like to get as much comfort for her without ruining the lines of the bike so lets see them...

My pillion is I believe 14" so the wife and I are both very happy. I had to modify when I bought the wrong seat but made it work just fine.

Get the widest one they sell, trust me. I had a Mustang and bought the widest one, 13" I believe, and it was borderline. I have since sold it and got a Sundowner and it's a 14". Hope you have better luck than I did with Mustang.

I have a mustang solo on my dyna and have found it to be a good balance between form and function. My OL rides with me maybe 15% of the time so I am not wanting to put some huge eyesore of a rear pillion on my bike for her to grace it with her presence maybe twice a month. When it comes to the rear pillion I am looking for the best looking/most comfortable (in that order) which is why I am asking for photos

I have a Mustang solo with drivers back rest on my Wide Glide. I bought the 14' pillion for when the wife rides. One bolt and it comes off and the fender bib is always on under the pillion.

Ok then, here you go.....



One thing I will say, the mustang looks good even with the biggest pillion made. I rarely took it off.

If it were me I'd look into the sport touring seat as well, it a little smoother in the lines and is a awesome seat, I'll try and find a picture for you.
