All Boils down to choice Love the Mustang on my Sporty and on the EGS is the first stock seat HD ever liked .. As long as it stays comfotable see no need to spend 300-400 on another seat plenty of other ways to spend the money ...

Get yourself a Corbin and be done with it.

I had a Corbin and loved it, yes it was hard but I never had a sore a$$. I rode 1000 miles on the Corbin only stopping for gas (I was younger back then) and it worked great.

On my next bike I had a mustang cause it was cheaper, and it was good for about 2 hours of riding then I had to rest, about the same as my stock harley seat.

I never had a seat but I had Saddleman saddlebags and had to have the leather straps re-sewed a couple of times. Plus they got a crease in them while shipping my bike overseas and I could never get it to straiten back up.

I've always noticed the tendency for people of more "normal" weight prefer a softer saddle, people with a few more pounds prefer firmer.

Makes sense when you think of simply bottoming out to the pan on a softer saddle...

Mustang if you want soft, Corbin if you want firm -

Me? I got so tired of changing saddles that I had my stock saddle modified with an inch of high-density closed-cell foam (like a Corbin) right under the stock, soft open-cell foam (like a Mustang). Now, the saddle is "softer" but "bottoms itself out" into the firm padding underneath.

Mustang - both of my bikes have them and my wife has one on her Heritage. It is a personal preference thing, though.

I've got 3 Harley seats. 2 are the Sundowners and the 3rd is the stock comfort stitch. How much more comfortable does one really think they're gonna get on a bike? Those seats are all 3 very comfy IMO, and I bought em for $100 used, but in mint shape. Do you have a driver's backrest? That's the key to comfort on a long trip.

I had both a corbin young guns seat and a mustang wide on my old honda, the corbin was great! fit the lines of the bike and once broken in was way comfy, they are a firm seat but very well made. The mustang was a very comfy seat also, bought it for the wife to have a soft place to sit, she really liked it, I didn't like the fact that it was covered in vinyl instead of leather but still a nice seat. try to sit on each and see which one you like best, the corbin won't feel right for a few miles so take that into account. good luck

Had a Mustang on my Ultra 4.5 of the 5 years I owned it. I moved that seat to my RG when I got it. Then I went and treated myself to a new Mustang (a smooth one vs regal that was on the Ultra). I have had my RG for 1.5 years.

Several of the guys I ride with all have Mustang seats as well.

It is a personal choice. The next bike night, open house, poker run or some other biker gathering...just look around and explain your story and you will get to sit on various seats.

I've got the Sundowner for my 08 EGS. I think it's probably the best seat I've owned and I've owned Corbin, Mustang and Ultimate.
