How far forward does the mustang seat push you compared to the stock seat?

I got the wider tripper and i dont feel it pushes me forward any, if it does its only about half an inch but i seat deeper into it than the stock seat and its very comfortable. Theres a sweet spot in the seat and when you get in it, its like a cloud. Here it is in solo mode

I feel like the stock seat let's me slide off the back... do you feel like your seat holds you in better that way? Initial review... do you think you could do 100 mi without the butt going to sleep?

thanks in advance

Easily. I sit deeper into it and It gives me better lower back support and keeps me in the seat nicely.

Well I am close to finished with all my winter Mods and am pretty happy with bike. Finally got the white walls on and put the chrome air cleaner on instead of keeping the black one on. That is the only mod I am not sure I like. I am also waiting for new tach/speedo to arrive.

Do you guys like the black or chrome air cleaner cover better? Or do you like the No Cover look with just a plate or screw holding it together?

I love the way my slim looks now. Just not sure about which AC cover to use.

Not a fan of the chrome at all. It's distracting and takes away from the look of the bike.

the chrome cover would look better if you took some red scotchbrite and wd40 to it to give it a brushed look
