Default Mustang 76207 seat uncomfortable

I just purchased a 76207 mustang seat and it is the most uncomfortable seat I have ever sat on. I bought it from a guy on craiglist and it looks to be brand new. I had a mustang one piece on a metric bike I had and loved it. This is very disapointing. Has anyone else had this problem. The last one I had didn't need a breakin period.
Thanks much All,
Ken

Had you purchased directly from Mustang you could have either exchanged it or returned it.
There are advantages to doing business directly with the manufacturer. By the way, have a similar seat w/rider backrest and love it.

I hated the Mustang but I love my Corbin Dual Tour. You might be in the same boat as me.

It's been about 11K miles since I added the Mustang seat to mine, and it gets better with time. Or maybe my *** gets tougher, I don't know. But I actually love the way it feels now, and have done 500+ mile days on it, and the wife was right behind me on her Mustang passenger seat. It also still looks brand new.

Question Not happy with my mustang

I had a mustang seat on my Honda ACE that I could ride all day long. I got a Mustang for my Road Glide. The seat just does not fit me and can only make short rides befor I have to get off!! Why can they make a seat so good for a Honda and not for a Harley, the rider did not change?

I have had a mustang on my ultra for about 2yrs. I am not really happy with it, it is better that the stock seat but not the best seat I have had on a bike by a long shot.

I had a Mustang seat on my last bike. I put 75,000 miles on it and loved it. Best seat I ever had. Everybody is different though.

Uncomfortable how? I had a Mustang solo on my bike, and I felt like I was sitting on the bolster, not really comfortable. I always felt like I was a little too close to my handlebars, and so I was probably sitting back too far in the seat. The padding was just fine, though.

I have over 1K invested in this "All Mustang" set-up. The seat took some getting used to. I've done over 18K on it and now I rarely even think about my ***. Same with the sweeper bars. They fit me just like the seat.



I can say that the backrest really helps. I will also admit that I occasionally still use a wool skin on those really long days.

My advice is to give it some more time before you give up.
