Now, I like that.

 

Same bike, same weight, same inseam--except the last time I checked I was 5' 10". OTOH I've prolly shrunk some since then.

I think you'd be happy with the Mustang for comfort, durability, and price. I'm running a Mustang on my '07 SG but used three Corbin solo seats on my last bike ('96 RK) at one time or another and can give this feedback:

Corbin Classic Solo: Most comfortable of the Corbins but put me back 2", which was too much. I used it for two years.

Corbin Close Solo: Position was good but comfort down, way down at first. Sent it back to Corbin and after repacking with new foam was better, but not up to the first. I used it for about seven more years.

Corbin Hollywood Solo: Bought on Ebay used for a low price on a whim. Didn't expect it to be comfortable and it wasn't. In fact it was awful, but cool looking. Sold it a few months later on Ebay.

For my '07 SG I decided to go with the Mustang Solo with backrest (#79100), although I don't see this part # on the Mustang site anymore. There are some on Ebay for $435 including shipping, and since I bought mine four years ago for $410 I would say this is a good price. Search on Mustang 79100.

The closest to my seat currently on the Mustang site seems to be the #79127, but the new nose looks to be longer than mine. They claim it is 15" wide, and though mine is also described as a 15" seat it measures 13ź" wide inside and 16" outside at its widest point. Both have narrower noses than stock which allows you to pull your legs in closer, and that helps your feet to plant better.

I decided on Mustang over Corbin because the price difference was $200 with the backrest and I saw very favorable feedback on the forums. Corbin has leather seating surfaces (vinyl elsewhere) and Mustang is all vinyl, but in four years I see absolutely no signs of wear in the Mustang and I can't tell the difference between this vinyl and leather either in appearance or breathability. If you plan on doing any kind of distance riding, i.e. trips, definitely buy a backrest--preferably one that installs and removes quickly (e.g., Mustang and Corbin). I didn't consider any HD solo seats because at the time ('07) they didn't have one that would fit a backrest, and that eliminated them right off the bat. They do have some available now but I don't know if they'll fit an '07, and if they do I don't believe the backrest slips in and out like with the Mustang and Corbin.

The Mustang is every bit as comfortable as the best Corbin I've owned, and both seats are firm at first sitting but comfortable once broken-in and on the long-haul. BTW, the bib is from Timber Wolf Leather. The top three photos were all taken three years ago, but the seat doesn't look or feel any worse today.

 

Seems Mustang has a pretty good lead. I would add that those others that ride with a solo seat look into the Brukus Seat Secure. I like knowing my high dollar seat will stay with my bike. And who would want to steal a purple bike???

 

that my friend was funny.

 

I ordered a C&C solo direct from C&C last summer. I ordered direct because I wanted a gel insert installed in it from the beginning. I have put a few thousand miles on it and I do not care for the way it feels while riding. I am probably going to order a Danny Grey this spring and sell my C&C on ebay. It looks great but I primarily ride my bagger 2-600 miles a day on the weekends and I can't do it comfortably on the C&C.

 

Corbin Classic Solo.

 

5'9" 155# 30" inseam, Danny Gray speed cradle. Love the way it fits and looks. Time will tell about comfort.

 

For the record...OP here, and I'm gettin gset to move onto a Mustang. The C&C, while I love the looks is just not comfortable to me

 

Police Air Ride Solo with Utopia Backrest. Oh Yeah !!

 

H-D Brawler solo. Had a Danny Gray "Big Seat", but it pushed me too far forward. Sat on Brawler and it's firm like the "Big Seat", but it sits me back further and I like that. BTW, I'm 6'3'' with 34 inch inseam.
