Default Mustang Wide Tripper on a Slim

Looking at this seat for my '15 Slim. Can you guys help with some descriptors on how it fits and feels compared to the stock seat? More comfortable (obviously)? Does it move you around any or alter the stock seating position? I'm 6' even and about 178 if it matters. Thanks guys.

I just put one on mine last week and love it. The closest thing I can compare it to is a temperpedic mattress. The cushion feels more dense and comfortable compared to the stock's thin batting. 6' 180 and it may push you forward an inch but it isn't noticeable. Hope that helps a little

Say it's so....Mustang seat pushes you forward and is more comfortable than the stock seat??? Been trying to replace the stock seat with a SOLO forward reaching and it's damn near impossible to find for a 15. The stock seat ......sucks for lack of a better word

So that begs another question. I wonder if the seat that has the backrest option pushed you further forward than their regular seat?? I don't want anything that pushes you forward any compared to stock, but have heard the Mustang is certainly the lesser of all evils.

I have this seat on my '14 Slim. I didn't notice it pushing me forward at all, but it definitely gives you more support at the tailbone, which could give the illusion of being more forward? I don't know, I could be wrong but I didn't notice it. The seat is more comfortable though, for sure. I'm 5'10", 180lbs.

Lisa, did you read the rest of my post yesterday on seats?

Galaxy, there is a backrest option, and they are adjustable, they are also around $500 with the BR.

Just got it stopped (for the most part) here. Sorry it came your way.
Runnin a Mustang myself but its on an older Softail. So far the best seat I've found although it seems to have moved me up and forward a bit. I'm 6' 190 lbs.
