Bought a Mustang for my Wide Glide site unseen and it was awesome. The stock seat on my Wide Glide was horrible. The Mustang was very firm, which I like. The stock seat on my Ultra sucks a$$ because it's way too soft and pushes me foreward. I prefer firm seats and want to get one for the Ultra but can't spring the $ right now.

Thanks for choosing a Mustang seat. Many folks are leery of the "firmness" of the Mustang seats but in fact that is what will give you longer riding time and retain correct riding posture. All that equals less fatigue and greater comfort. Soft is not the better choice in our opinion. Thanks!

You can prove this for yourselves by sitting on a soft pillow for a few hundred miles. When you get off, you won't want to get back on.
Back in the 80's, I rode from Omaha to Traverse City MI, straight through. My seat was super soft, but my butt hurt so bad, I decided that my seat was not soft enough, so stopped at a box store in Gary Indiana and got a pillow. Sat on that for the rest of the ride and when I got to Traverse City, the last thing I wanted to do was get back on that bike. Went to a bike shop where they hooked me up with a much firmer seat, and I rode back to Omaha pain free.
Oh, and I bought my Mustang seat only because it looks so cool on my EG, and after getting it, I find out that it's comfortable too. I hate my 2-up seat now. I'm thinking about buying my wife a bike so I never have to put my 2-up seat on ever again.

You SHOULD be able to get a Mustang pillion to match your Mustang solo. That is what I have and the only time the pillion goes on is when OL rides.

Hi from Sydney Australia. I'm convinced the Mustang is the seat for me however am still undecided. I want to go down 1" and back 1" as opposed to the stock seat. I'm hearing the Tripper Solo is good but the Wider Tripper Solo with the pattern is better. Not convinced on the Vintage Solo, unless you would like to comment,

Rob

Most all of their seat will sit you back and down farther than stock. You might email them directly with your query though.

That seat is the Wide Touring Studded Smooth Solo Seat - 75706

I put a Mustang one piece on my wide glide and really like it. Better lower back support and being a bit bigger is more comfy for passenger. Looks a darn site better than stock too.

Have most Mustang seat owners bought their seat sight unseen?
Butt untouched, not sight unseen
