Default RE: advise on a new seat

may want to search aroudn the thread, this is a pretty popular topic. I went with a sundowner, but mustang and corbing are also very popular. the benefit to the mustang (vintage solo) is that it is a one up seat that you can add a removable passenger seat to. kind of best of both worlds. I would have went with it, but the dealer said I could not return it and there was no where to try it out.

Badlanders look good but are a pain in the *** (literally)...I got a leather one for my bike to replace the stock seat and since then anything over 50 miles or so and I'mfeelin' it...I ordered a Mustang vintage 2-up seat for my '06, installed it (set me up a tad higher and a fuzz further back),rode on it 10 miles or so, then the very next day went on a 1,100 mile round trip...I did 500 miles the first day and could have gone a couple hundred more...it was a night and day difference...I HIGHLY recommend the Mustang seats...solo OR two-up!

I went with the Corbin - tell you what, over 1000 miles on the seat and still VERY HARD. I'm thinking I should of went Mustang as well.

I also had a saddlemen seat, but just does not look right on a bobtail fender..IMO The seat I had needed to go on a heritage of some sort
