Strongly Considering MCC over Mustang - Opinions?
I've had Mustang seats on my last two rides and they're great seats. I'm tempted to try MCC on my 2010 OE RK seat for the simple fact that it's something different. I've sat in other seats (not MCC) that feel more soft and plush than Mustangs. Would you descried the MCC with the mem foam softer than a Mustang?
Thanks

The first thing I did when I got my '08 was to have the seat done at MCC. They did a good job. The following year I got a Mustang and find it to be more comfortable for long miles in the saddle. The MCC seat is softer but I find I have more support with the deeper bucket of the Mustang. Of course everyones butt is different...

review of Danny Gray Solo Big Seat
just installed the above mentioned seat couple days ago. i woke early this morning and put 275 miles, 5 hours, with zero break in hours to the seat prior to the ride. I was told it may take 800 - 1000 miles for the seat to conform for maximum comfort.
Impressions.
changes the look of the bike to the better in my opinion, it sits me lower by a couple of inches and moved me back slightly.
I normally ride with a back rest and the seat has the receiver for the backrest but i have yet to purchase.
there is enough of a lip on the back of the seat that it securely sets you in. riding without the backrest was not an issue however i will still purchase the backrest, because i like to use it to support while I stretch out.
the seat is firm, with a small amount of padding, it does have gel, it is comfortable. when i first sat on it i had my doubts as i noticed the lack of padding. i could have put more miles on the ride this morning, no squirming, or numb butt.
this makes my third seat, the original is modified with double decker memory foam from Mean City Cycles, much more comfortable than stock.
My second seat and the one i use for two up, (wifes seat) is the Harley Hammock. it is like a lounger.
in order of comfort and on a scale of 1-10 (ten being most comfortable)
Hammock - 9: it almost feels like i am not sitting on a seat more of a chair.
Danny Gray - 8: I'm confident i could get a 500 mile ride in with this seat
OEM modified by MCC - 5 even though its better than stock its no where close to the other two as far a comfort.
Cool factor

Hammock -1 (i put a 1 just to make it tangible i could easily give it a 0)

I had a mustang on my 99 RK and logged 92K miles, when I bought my 08 Ultra I ordered a Mustang before bike delivery and love it. I am not a bar hopper, my rides are on average 230 miles on a weekend day and we take many 2, 3 day weekend rides and one and two week trips each year. Love my Mustang, but I have to say it is the only thing I have sat in, so my opinion is not so objective!
