Mustang is the best. I currently have a Sundowner b/c I couldn't find a used Mustang at a reasonable price. I had the Mustang on my previous bike. The Sundowner isn't too bad but, the Mustang is better.

I have the sundowner deep bucket and I enjoy riding on it. I am 6'2" and it fits me just fine. If I remember correctly it lowers you and put you back about and inch or two in my case.
To each his own. All butts are different. LOL

Thanks Gonzo. Your signature may have answered my other question; will my 4-point docking system & attachments work with the Mustang? (luggage rack, sissy bar) would expect it to, but asking is easier than returns....

The only reasons I got rid of my Mustang Vintage Solo and passenger pads are:
Sat me higher than stock.
Looked butt ugly on a Street Glide.
Other than that nothing bad to say about it. Super comfortable, extremely well made. Great backrest.

Either way you go you will have a more comfortable seat than stock for sure....Only you can decide which one is better for you. If you could just sit on both it would be better... Make sure you break in the Mustang because it maybe a bit hard to start...not that hard... i have dome 1000 miles in 1 day and my *** was fine for the first 600 miles then i had to use the air hawk and the sheepskin...I am Diabetic and have severe RA.
