Anyone running a Mustang Wide Touring 2up?
I run the "Ultimate touring Seat" from the MoCo now and love the seat but it pushes me a bit too far forward and even with the backrest laid back, the rear of the seat has such a deep slope that I slide up on the tank, so I am looking for another touring seat that will allow me to sit in the seat instead of on the tank. 
So far it looks like Mustang is the way to go. Does anyone here run this seat?

Got it and love it for our longer-distance riding. I'm 6'2", and the wife is 6', and it serves us great on our Fat Boy. I certainly feel like I sit "in it" rather than "on it".
EDIT - just looked, but I don't have any photos posted with the Mustang installed... guess I'll have to get some uploaded.

Most owners rave about them. I'm probably one of the few exceptions. I don't find it much more comfortable than my stock Heritage seat.
Definitely has more padding and it's 17.5" wide so on paper it should be a big improvement over stock. And it obviously is for most riders. Just haven't found that for myself yet.
Oddly enough I find it much more comfortable w/o the backrest than with. The backrest seems to push me forward and for some reason gives me a lower back ache in short order. Adjusting it doesn't help.
Got a back ache on a ride the other day and pulled the backrest off for the trip home. No back ache. Ironic because the backrest is 95% of the reason I bought the seat in the first place.
