Studded seats
I will never buy another. Mine is a Mustang. Between the bag lids catching them and my Gerbings dual controller case now tearing at another I have had it. I hope to be able to afford to be able to send it off to Mustang for a $250.00 restoration before long and WILL NOT get studs. Just a heads up in case anyone is trying to decide.

I've have a studded Mustang on my '95 EG and never had any interference issues with bag lids, or anything else. And Mustang would've exchanged it for a non stud if you'd have shipped it back unused and undamaged.

had a studded seat on my old flt, just cause that's what was on it when i bought it. I agree, they do end up looking pretty crappy once a stud or 2 ends up missing. Just prefer a plain old leather seat myself i guess.

I appreciate the offer Larry but some time ago I contacted Mustang about this. At the same time I told them about a buddy that had one of their seats with buttons and one came up missing. They were really cool and sent us each buttons and studs along with super glue and a couple nice hats. I wasn't slamming Mustang in any way as I think they are a great company. Just bringing this issue to light to give a heads up in case anyone was trying to decide. When I got your Crotch Cooler I got it studded to match. No problems with that!!!
