Well, as you have see here Motown, if you ask for an opinion between two seats (you can throw handlebars and shocks in here too), you're going to get a million different answers.

Opinions on seats, shocks, and handlebars are all very subjective, and are dependent upon the individual using the equipment. We all have different body types, leg lengths, arm lengths, etc. What works perfect for me, might suck horribly for some short dude with short arms and legs. You're just going to have to try in on for size, and form your own opinion...because it's the only one that really matters.

Mustang Super Touring very comfortable without pushing you towards the tank, great backrest. I had a Sundowner on my Sportster and it was ok, but pushed me up too high.
