Street Bob Mustang Seat Question
Guys,
Put a few miles on the new"ish" badlander seat I picked up a while back and now I'm looking for another seat Made a great trade with Kevin Cain for the seat and it looks great on the bike but my OL says NO, honestly it wasn't my favorite either.... So now I'm looking at mustang seats and I'm leaning toward the Vintage Solo but here are the two questions:
1. Is the wide too wide? I'm a average guy (6'0 200-215 lbs) wouldn't mind sitting a little farther back.
2. Rider backrest or not?
I'll definitely get the wide pillion for the OL, she sat on another bike this weekend and loved it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I've got a badlander seat in excellent condition up for grabs....... If I get the mustang, I'll also have a stock 2006 Bob solo for sale with less than 400 miles on it.
Thanks

RE: Street Bob Mustang Seat Question
I have the Vintage Solo standard version and am about your size (6' 190 lbs) and it is GREAT - I love it. Moves you back about 1" and up a tad compared to stock and you feel really planted in it - no sliding around. And that slight indent really is surprisingly supportive for my lower back considering how small a lip it has.
Didn't particularly care for the look of the wide version with overhangs and my butt ain't all that big - LOL. One benefit no one has mentioned is it's contoured a bit narrower in the front so feet have no problem being flat on the ground when stopped while seated (even with my short 29" inseam legs).
No experience with a back rest, but probably a good idea if you can get past the look, but I haven't felt any need for one. Shop around on ebay - got mine for like $150 shipped a little over a year ago. Good Luck!
