I have the Mustang solo that is made to fit the RK custom and it is extremely comfortable, and I think it still keeps the profile looking low and sweet. I also have installed the bag lock kit on my bike-did it myself. They work very good. I think the seat and lock were good investments.

Matt,
Do you have a pic you could post of your bike with that seat on it?

Matt - I have an '05 RK Cust....so just wondering....did you go with the plain seat or with studs....back rest or no back rest?? Last question....you know the postion you sit on the bike with the "standard" seat.....does the mustang seat sit lower?....and do you sit closer, farther, same from the tank? On the standard seat, I alway sat as far back in the seat as possible.

Thanks!

I'll have a photo of my bike posted by tomorrow for you. As for the seat position, I sit a little more forward-there is much more lower back support on the seat. I bought the plain seat (no studs). Also, the seat is more narrow in the front than the HD seat, so it is easier for a shorter rider to sit flat footed.

Thanks for the compliments, I have added a few other doo-dads since that photo. But otherwise it is the same.

If you don't already have one, you should start a photo gallery here, because that is a great looking bike!
