It's easy to say so and so said, or my friend likes this or that. But that is not a fair comparsion for any item. I've had them both on the same model bike a 2000 RKC and a 2008 RKC and I can easily say that the Mustang blows compared to what Allen did. The Mustang was hard. pushed me forward and never soften up. I still had butt burn with the Mustang after 75 miles of riding stratight. I hated it so much that when I sold the bike I bever even considered taking the Mustang off and keeping it. Worst $500 I ever spent IMO. About 3 months after I sold the bike the owner called and ask if I still had the original seat because he also hated the aftermarkt I had on it. I know everybody is different and Mustang makes quality seat, it just wasn't for me at all. The $200 I spent with Allen was much better.

I have a 09 ultra classic. Bought it in August and have almost 10,000 miles on it. During the first 2,000 miles it was very uncomfortable to ride more then 50 miles. At first I thought I just needed to break in the seat. It never got better. Sent the seat to Mean cycles and had the seat redone and installed the heater. During the first 1,000 miles I still was unhappy and this was a few days from a big trip. Mean City told me they would make some more changes but they also stated it still may need a little breaking in. I decided to leave the seat alone and made the trip. 5100 miles riding 500 miles a day and I now love my seat. Now my ride is so comfortable I would not trade my seat for any other seat.

Have been dealing with Allen at Mean City as he tries to get my stock seat on my '07 Ultra to fit just right. Fantastic customer service, but guess I just have a weird butt. Last mod was right before the cold weather set in, so no more tries until spring. Allen said they had just switched over to some new memory foam, so that's what he put in.
But I did get to try a Mustang seat out at Rapid City during Sturgis last year. I lasted 100 miles before my tailbone starting hurting like crazy! Couldn't get that thing off fast enough. That's the original problem that sent me to Mean City to begin with.
Have one buddy who loves his Mustang on his Ultra, and another buddy who loves his stock seat! Go figure.
Good luck!
