Last week I just got a new 06 1200Low, after only 300 miles of riding....I realize a new seat for longer than 1 hour rides is needed. Thanks to info gained in this forum..it looks like the Mustang is the overall most popular solo seat. I am 5'7" and 185lbs....yesterday I ordered the Vintage Solo Wide (15 inch width) as opposed to the Vintage Standard (12.5 width). "Al" at Mustang said given my size, I could probably go with either. Anybody out there around my size with the Mustang that can give me any feedback on their preference.

 

Good decision on the width.I pulled a corbin off my Heritage and went with the Mustang .You may have a little less room to check your oil on the Sporty though but it shouldnt be too much of a problem .They should be built high enough up on the right side .Mustang has a good reputation for quality and fitment..The 12 " wouldnt been any different than your stock saddle.The mustang also offers a deeper seat with more back support.I think you will be a happy rider !

 

I have the wide on my bike and like it. The wife's standard width just arrived in the mail last night. I'll ride on it and post the differences here.

 

good luck on the new bike, I have the same bike and I put on a vintage wide solo seat and the wide passenger seat. I have a short inseam probably could be more comfortable with the standard width at a stop, But felt the wider would be better since your riding more than stopped.Good choice of seats.

 

I have the wide vintage solo for my 883 and i love it.

 

Thanks to all for the advice..... 15 inch Mustang seat arrived last night...fits/looks perfect, the 12.5 would probably been a little snug.....this new seat will make those longer rides more comfy. Boy, the feedback this site gives makes shopping/deciding on accessories much less time consuming..thnx again.
