Default HELP: Mustang seats - review or pitures

OK guys, looking for a little help and advice. I need another seat that's better for the wife with longer runs. I'm 5'9 190 so I don't want anything raising me up and she's only 110 5'5.
I've read all the comments on the sundowner but not really sold on it.
I love my Mustang tripper for around town and think it's good quality so I've got a couple in mind.

Mustang One Piece smooth touring. Front width 17 rear 14
Mustang One Piece Sport Touring Front 15.5 rear 11

I've been through all 145 picture threads and don't see these or if they're there it isn't in the write up.

Anybody running with these: comments and pictures please

Going on 08 FLHX (just for trips)

We have the mustang one piece smooth touring 17f/14r.
My wife says a wider seat is more comfortable, she wants to wiggle around. She can spend a week sitting back there with 'almost' no complaints. I really like the mustang smooth tour also, with the added backrest kit (and chubby 518 handlebars on a RK) I sit up perfectly & ride all day, no problem. She's 5'8 140, I'm 6- 220.

You can see my seat in the picture below. I like it alot. I'm 6"3' and 270 lbs. My passenger 5"3' and 125 likes it also.

My biggest (only) gripe is that my left leg would go numb after 200 miles. I have had the stock seat redone with mean city cycles and I am lower now. My 5"3' passenger can easily flatfoot while seated. Can't say anything else about the seat, I have only ridden 75 miles over three trips and that's not enough to make any fact based judgement.

I've used the one piece touring seat on a couple different rides then the SG. Had great comfort with both. Hope that helps your decision a little .Had the same issue,the wife needed a more comfortable seat.

I just got a mustang solo in response to all of the feedback on this forum. I had a Mustang solo on my Deuce - GREAT seat. I could do 500 miles on a softail wiht no issues at all...

A+ on the Mustang smooth touring seat. Stock Harley seat gave me a pain in the A$$.

The one piece WILL raise you up, (at least the big one, dont know about the sport touring)

I suggest the solo/pillion

You don't have to be limited to a one piece seat. You can get the Vintage Solo which will lower the driver (I have it on a SG) and use any number of different passenger pillions. You can also outfit that combo with a removable drivers backrest. Very comfortable.

Just keep im mind, all A$$'s are different. What may work for one person may not suit another. I have the touring 1 piece on mine and I find it to be a graet seat for me. It does seem to push me forward a bit. I tried the sport tourer and found it to be uncomfortable for rider and passenger. So basically it is trial by fire like anything else.
