Default Have a Mustang 1 piece touring seat on an 08?

Im looking for someone who has the ONE piece Mustang touring seat (NOT the sport touring) on their 2008 or 2009 Electraglide, Ultra, or Streetglide. Can't be the regal model, studded or not does not matter, either is fine.

I specifically need someone with that seat on that year/model of bike.

If you have one, and would not mind taking a quick measurement for me, please PM me or reply here.

Thanx, Ace

Hey, thanx for responding. This is the measurement that I need:

Hook the tape measure in the groove at the back of the fuel door opening, and measure back to the deepest part of the seat (25" in this photo) What Im after here, is weather or not the mustang sits back any further than the Sundowner I have now. I had all the measurements before, but they were on an 07, and I don't know if the fuel door and/or console changed in 08 with the bigger tank, so I don't know if my old measurements are a valid comparison to the new bike. The 08/09 Sundowner seems to sit more forward to me, compared to my 07 Sundowner, which makes sense as they enlarged the rear section of the seat for the new version.

The photos you have most likely seen, have the stock seat on the bike. The other seat I have, is the HD Sundowner.

Il have some new photos sometime this weekend, with the tourpak on.

ww1flyingace. I have the mustang seat you are referencing on an 08 Ultra. I checked it, is right at 25". Hope that helps.

Smile Muatang seat

I have an 08 Classic with the Mustang touring seat. I took a measurment as you requested, and it is the same distance as stock (25"). I did notice with the Mustang seat, that I do sit a little lower, and the nose of the seat is shorter and narrower than stock. I can touch the ground flat footed now.
It is a whole lot more comfortable than the stock seat. My butt don't hurt anymore after an all day ride.

Hey, thanx guys. Pretty much tells me that the Mustang 1 peice isnt gonna move me back anymore (didn't think it would, from past experience) So If I go Mustang, its gonna probably be the 2 piece again.

Thanx for the help guys.

I actully saw it in front of the dealership on State Street on thursday afternoon (i think). I had to go down and pick up my Liscence Plate for my bike. It looked like it just got painted and was out in the sun. The hardware wasnt all back on yet. I just wanted to see it all finished.
