Mustang Low Down

I have been reading into this seat and from mustang's description,

that it lowers you but doesn't push you forward, this is exactly what i need as i am 5'8" and not quite flat footing my bike. But as i read more on the forum everyone says that it in fact does move your position uncomfortably forward. Any more people out the have the seat with some good reviews on it? Most of the reviews i have found are 2-3 years old.

Yes, I have the seat (sitting in a box)... I bought it when it first came out for my 2010 Road King. Yes, it is a well made seat that sits you lower and is narrow at the front but I found it pushed me forward. I'm 5'10 and a big boy... I sent the seat to Mean City to have the seating position moved back an inch (along with their memory foam upgrade). They did a great job. After riding with the seat, I felt it still wasn't right for me and my body. I then tried the Harley Hammock seat and it's been perfect for me.

That being said... I have a Low Down (with mods) sitting in a box in my garage in excellent condition. I'm willing to let it go for less than half of what I'm into it for... If interested, send me a PM.....

I've used the low down touring seat for about a year and I like it very much. It might move you a little forward but really didn't seem to be much adjustment to me. Comfortable to me and the wife likes it also. I'm 5'10 and 170lbs. Order it from Denis Kirk and if you don't like it they will let you return it. I exchanged several seats with them to find the one I liked best. Not all companies will let you return seats. Hope it works for you. Will lower you about 1 inch which is nice although I didn't need it lower just looking for comfort.

Mustang Solo...

I have a brand new Mustang Solo purchased a month ago and I am 5'7", I don't feel mine pushed me towards the gas tank nor it felt uncomfortable but still I was not able to be flat footed so I put it back in its original bag and box and that's were it is until I sell it! I did lowered the rear only via SG shocks and I am using the two-up LOW OEM seat and it is working fine for me! Most probably when I have nothing else to do... I'll install the front drop-in from Progressive and I know that will just make it perfect for me. If you are interested in the Mustang, feel free to shoot me a PM.

Good Luck!

I just put a Lowdown on my 09 Streetglide. Definitely moves you down and the narrow nose is nice as your legs are much closer together when you have your feet on the ground. It did really push me forward--too far. My groin is smashed up against the tank and very ucomfortable. The good news is that I can have it modified and then it will be fine. I just need 1.5 to 2" removed from the back of the driver area and it'll be perfect. My wife loves it as well and she rides her own bike, so she is hard to please with regard to a seat (this is the first of 4 she's tried that she actually likes because it's wider than most and sits her up higher so she can see around me). I'm 6' and 230lbs with a 33" inseam and have had multiple back surgeries and fusions. I have ridden Mustang Solos, CC Customs and stock configurations--Mustangs continue to be more comfortable for me in the long term. I hope this helps!
