I used the Mustang # 79598; very comfortable, nice and wide, no complaints from the passengers, and well worth the money. Just did 380 miles yesterday and another 200 today and if not for the forecasted rain I would be out again tomorrow.

Can you take 3 measurements for me (A, B, & C)?
I know what the Mustang site states but that conflicts with what I’m seeing on some other websites.

My Freewheeler had sat in an unheated garage before I bought it for about 5 years and mice had eaten a hole in the stock seat. I bought a virtually new seat on Ebay off of a stock CVO ultra. My SO really likes it and it is real comfortable for me. We take 150 mile day trips on it all the time. Probably the best $250 I spent. It looks real nice as well. Ken

As of right now I’m leaning towards the Mustang Touring Standard or a Road King seat.
I just put the tinder on the Freewheeler today so I’m in no hurry.

Patience seems to always pay off.

I came across on Facebook marketplace a like new Mustang “Super Touring Deluxe” seat P/N 79006 with the backrest for $475.
As far as I can tell it’s the same seat as P/N 79598 listed for the Freewheeler however the Freewheeler version I believe may have a more squarer pillion.

As seen in the pictures below there is a slight gap at the base of the pillion at the rear of the side covers.
However once my Alaska sheepskin is installed you can’t see the gap but it’s such a good looking seat I hate to cover it up.

I only put about 50 miles on the seat today but it does seem to be a lot better than stock.

Thanks everyone for your inputs as to what seat you are riding on.
