For me it was my Mustang Seat - they work for most folks but not for me - I even sent it back to the factory & they rebuilt it after only 3K mikes - only good for 100/125 miles tops - I have to stop get of the bike for 10 minutes and go another 100 miles - tom

I bought the Kruzer Kaddy. I love it!!! It is true you really can't use it for anything carbonated and if it's more than 3/4's full ya better have a cap. It still gets enough use though. I see it as a necessity on a long ride to stay hydrated.

Interesting. Just got this seat. Not as impressed as I'd hoped to be. Trying to decide if it is the nature of such a low profile seat, or if something else that low might be more comfortable.

I have a Ultra Classic and purchased a Klockworks 8'' deflective windshield. Everyone last yr said,"oh there great" what a POS! I removed my 12' clear that I look through for the 8'' Klockworks black that I looked over. Everyone said this new design would force the air over my head and I wouldn't have to see through a windshield any more. I'm 6'1'' and I guess if you were 5'6'' it might work but this new design sucked because at 30 mph, 55 mph and 80 mph it felt like I had exactly what I had in front of me. NO WINDSHIELD! Sold the POS on Ebay!

J and P cycles mirrors, made cheap and one fell off due to poor mounting. I ordered Arlen Ness replacements.

Mustang solo touring seat. Yea, it seemed comfortable at first until
I took a long ride, and the circulation to my legs was getting cut off
from the edge of the seat hitting my legs. My left leg would go to sleep
after 20 miles, and I would have to stop and walk around to get the circulation
going again. One time, I got off the bike and almost fell down due to the numbness
it caused. I tried adjusting my HW pegs, but nothing helped.
Seat went to classifieds after 2 weeks.
One more seat down the tubes for me!!

I got rid of a set of Arlen Nees because they sucked! On my Big Dog Chopper. The mirror's would move around on the brackets. There was no way to stabbilize them. I yanked them off and mounted a set of HD mirrors. Problem solved.
