Mustang

Does anyone ride a Mustang Fastback seat and are they comfortable? Looking for a comfortable two up seat and it seems to be a seat that doesn't overpower the looks of the bike.

RE: Mustang

I posted before and my post got deleted for some reason.

I just put this seat on a little over a week ago. It is very comfortable, and much better than the stock seat. I still don't think it would be great for two-up riding as there isn't much of a pad for the passenger.

Here's some pics of it on the bike:

You will probably notice that this seat exposes the top of the oil and battery covers. That's really my only complaint. But the comfort compared to the stock seat is unbelievable. It is way better than I expected. I bought mine on Ebay for $229.95 +17.95 shipping from:

RE: Mustang

How far could you ride the stock compared to the Fastback before needing to stop? I love the look of your bikes seat, I was thinking of a Vinatage wide for comfort but this style suits the lines much better.

A few weeks ago I took a 200-mile trip on the stock seat. By the time I hit about 60 miles my tailbone was killing me. For the last 100 miles I was stopping about every 30 miles or so to take a break. I haven't gone 200 miles on the Mustang yet, but I went a little over 100 the other day and felt absolutely no discomfort at all.

I looked at the Vintage also. It just looks too wide on the bike for my taste. It came down to the Fastback or the Daytripper. I just like the looks of the Fastback better so that is what I went with.

RE: Mustang

Just missed a Mustang Fastback on EBay, which sold for a very high price, but it was essentially new. This thread seems to think a lot of them. Anyone care to compare it with the stock 04 1200C seat and the Harley Sidekick? Any comments on the Sidekick. Looking for a little better backsupport than stock...less siding back sensation. I am not interested....actually wife is not interested... in a bigger touring type seat. Go figure that one out...bigger seat would make her butt look smaller.I have done a good bit of reading on them, but always interested in comparison from someone who actually knows rather than someone who has just thought about it.
