I tried a Mustang seat, and did not like it at all. The seating position pushed me too close to the gas tank, and it was softer than I like. The Corbin fit the bill perfectly for me, I ordered the seat off the website, and got it in less than a week.

I keep hearing stories of bad customer service, which I don't doubt, but I didn't experience anything like that from them. I'd definitely buy another seat from them, and lots of other Corbin owners say the same thing.

I've had both. I have a Gunfighter right now I bought off ebay.
Good seat !! It puts me a little close (It's a Gunfighter close I think)
I just like the look and it's comfortable enough w/great lwr back supt.
I had a Corbin touring seat for awhile. I even took it back to Corbin's in Hollister (about 45 min from here) and had it re-done. It was ok at best.
But(T) for the long haul, like a 2 or 3 hundred mile day -- The Mustang
goes on. I've never been sore after a ride. The backrest is adjustable back & forth and up & down (w-o removing the seat - unlike Corbin where you do have to remove the seat to install or adj the backrest)

Good quality seat. It fits perfect and mounts on the sides like the stock seat for added supt. Plus on the Softail, the width blocks the little bit of heat from the oil tank.
