Default Mustang Low Down Seat 79704

I am very much locked into this seat, but I'd like hear any pros and cons from those who actually have used this seat.
In addition, Mustang web site doesn't mention anything about changing the sitting location, so I assume it will low me down but keep me in the same location, not forward or backward. Please confirm, if you have one.
I've also found one place for sale this seat at $665 with free shipping, it is a good price?
Thanks much in advanced

I have the low down w/rider backrest on my 12 Road Glide Custom. It moved me forward and a tad lower. (I think Mustang says they lower you 1/2 inch on the '12 models.)

I'm 5'7" so it helps me sit on the bike more comfortable. There is not a lot of room to slide around on (like the stock seat). The passenger seat is large and looks comfortable (no passengers yet.) The back rest is mainly the same as the other models I've owned. It does help and gives support.

I've had a few mustang seats. I had a wide touring on my Softail that was bigger than this seat. If I didn't need to go down/forward on this bike, I'd gone with that seat.

I've enclosed pictures. I have a small Pro Pad on the back rest because I just threw my back out and this gives it a little more comfort.

Thanks much for the info and pix.
Did you guys have any info on the width of the seat at the thigh area? Wider, narrower, or the same as the stock seat?

I have one sitting in a box that I'm not using... I had it modified by Mean City to have the seating position moved back an inch (I felt crowded the way it came stock). They did a great job on the mod but the seat wasn't right for me (I've since bought the Hammock that I'm thrilled with)... The seat has less then 500 mile ride time... If you're interested, send me a PM. My price is half of what you're looking at brand new... I just want to get rid of it so I can buy the LED headlight!!
