Default new to me Mustang super touring seat.

just got it in the mail today. the guy i got it from says he put about 1500 miles on it. so i was able to put it on and run a 15 mile errand before the rain came.

first impression:

seat came out of the box and looks like it's build quality is pretty decent. went right on and looks like a couch on the bike. in the garage at first sit was good. compared to the stock road glide seat it moves you back a bit but not all that much. and maybe even a hair taller (this was no big deal). compared to the sidekick seat i usually run it is definitely farther forward and much higher.

it is much softer than i expected, much more cushy than the sidekick but not as wet sponge feeling as the stock seat.

the seat is very wide and has a nice amount of back support so much so that i do not like the back rest the seat came with. i don't feel it is needed. plus the backrest kind of limits the seating position since the post supports you farther forward than without it.

i bought this with the hopes of it doing well on a long haul, so i will report back hopefully by the end of the week when i have a chance to get out and put some miles on it.

this is a side note (i could not find this info before purchase, i hope to help others with this) the seat does fit with the short removable passenger back rest. a pic will follow:

Thanks for report. The shape looks good but the softness would be a show-stopper for me. I also hope it works for you.

thanks guys i hope so as well. It is definitely more firm than stock but not as firm as a sidekick seat which I believe is designed by Danny Gray.

I've had the Super Tourer for a year and 16,000 miles. It has worked well for me. It may feel soft, but it won't bottom out like the OEM seat does.

I'm pretty happy with mine. One thing that will help any seat is a sheepskin pad.

so i was able to get out for a moderate ride today. about 70 miles each way. first thing i noticed is that when you lift your legs you don't fall right into place, you gotta wiggle around a bit to get it right. second it kind of smashes the jewels a bit, not sure why but the boys feel very cramped. on the way back there was heavy traffic so 70 mile took almost 2 hours and my but was not hollering so that's pretty good. gonna try to get out to cabelas in the next week or two thats about 100 miles each way.
