+ 1 on the Mustang Wide Solo

 

Implies that it pulls you forward.

This one goes back.

[quote=hogsport;7152712]I have the Mustang Vintage Solo and Corbin Gunfighter. I am 6'4 & the Mustang sat me an inch or so forward. It is also a flat seat- good quality seat, but I did not like it, matter of fact I am selling it.

This one is forward.

So what's the deal, does is pull you an inch forward, or backward?

You caught that too, huh? It's got to be one or the other, you would think. I can't imagine it's both.

 

On my 1200R the Mustang Vintage Solo moves me back slightly. It is only noticeable when I put my stock seat on in preparation for two-up riding. While on the stock seat, my tail bone is definitely "crowded", but not on the Solo.

 

Mine moved me forward.

 

I am going to guess that it really matters WHICH MODEL Sportster you're putting the Vintage Solo on as to which way it affects the seating position.

 

I have a Mustang solo and my wife has a Corbin Close solo. The close solo may be harder because they reduce the padding to get the rider lower, but it's a pretty hard seat. The Corbin has a really cool attachment system, where you remove the seat with a key instead of a screwdriver. I really like it but my wife complains about the lack of padding after 100 miles or so. My Mustang seat is pretty nice and has plenty of padding, but I'd kind of like the hard back edge of the Corbin to hold me in place on the seat when accelerate. They are both good seats - I believe both of mine came off Ebay, like new for about half or less of the retail price.

 

My suggestion is to save your money and not buy either...just send your stock seat to Mean City Cycle and get a way better riding seat at a fraction of what you are going to pay for either the corbin or mustang.

 

forward or back ? must be the model of bike then. 1200C sits me forward and higher with mustang wide vintage. i am going to send my mustang into mean city and get it adjusted lower and back with some other chit. should be good to go.

 

My stock seat is awesome-perfectly comfortable but it's not a solo. I guess if I were going to take a longer ride, I could put the stock seat back on.
