Default Mustang Vintage

Hey guys and gals, I've done the search on the mustang vintage seat and found a lot of information, but I wanted to grab some opinions.....

I read that the seat moves you forward by a couple inches, is it really noticeable in a bad way? I'm only 5'9 but feel comfortable with the current stock setup.
Also, will it raise me higher off the ground compared to stock setup?

I really like my stock seat, but since I've added on a pillion to it, I've been looking for another solo seat (I know I can just remove the pillion, but I like more parts! )

One more for ya, would the rear fender bib look horrible on the Iron? I think that having used the pillion for a while may have caused some scuffing on the rear fender and was considering using the bib to hide it.

Thanks!

I think the bib wouldnt look good but I dont like the looks of them. I own a MSV and the seat to me moves you up and back not forward. Made it actually a very comfortable position for me and I am 5 10. Gave me i think an extra inch of stretch I needed to make it super comfortable. Pull the trigger you wont be dissapointed

I wouldn't say forward, but maybe up an inch. That's simply because there is actually padding compared to the factory Nightster seat. I used part #76159 made for 4.5 gallon tanks to maintain the factory gap between the tank and seat. I love it!
