Default Mustang Throwback Seat

Looking for some reviews on this seat. Searched the Internet and not a lot of info on it. Looking to add to my Seventy Two. Anyone using it? If so, what are your thoughts?

Thank you!

Looks like the old "King/Queen" seat from the '70's!

Yeah. I looked hard at this one before I found my swap meet special. I really wanted a king/queen. The deal breaker for me was that it says you can't use a sissybar with it. Very curious to see it on a bike! Post pics to this thread when you get it!

I saw that to and might be the deal breaker for me as well. However, I found a picture of a guy that had the Throwback seat with a sissy bar on a Seventy Two. I emailed Mustang and asked for some clarification. I'll let you know what they say.

Here's what I ended up with. Not sure how it will "weather"... fiberglass pan, and the covering is presumably cheap vinyl. I had to dremel off a LOT of the nose of it to make it fit. I'm happy with it, esp since it was only $90.

If the Throwback will accommodate my sissybar it'll be my backup plan if this one fails on me. So far so good though.
