Anytime, I know it can be confusing at times, and it may take a few different configurations to get it right. Some of these things you can easily do without investing in new springs, fork oil and preload can be adjusted easy enough.

Mustang Wide Vintage, extremely comfortable for road trips.

Mean City reworks the padding underneath then puts the original cover back on. Or at least thats what they did for mine. And I am very happy with it.

I wanted to send a seat to Mean City last year and never got around to it. I bought a Reach Seat off a fellow member. I liked the way it lowered me but felt squashed up against the tank. I think I am gonna give them a call.
Still interested in trying to find which solo seat would feel best. Maybe I can find some at the dealer to try. Just have to avoid the temptation of the new bike

I run the stock length 440's.... They ride real nice. Added the Progressive springs up front and am very happy with the ride.

I broke my #5 lumbar years ago and my back can get sore quick, especially with that stock thing harley calls a seat Lol
With a deep bucket seat, good shocks and mid controls I can ride all day. The sundowner is my best friend Lol

Ive read a lot of great reviews on the mustang vintage. Having good back support is key

Yeah, when I had my Street Bob I couldn't wait to put forward controls on it, and wound up leaving the mid pegs on. Then I bought the Wide Glide. I'm thinking I like the mid's better myself. When I had my Sportster I was actually looking into putting rear controls on it
