I want to buy a Mustang seat for my Road King. However, none of the dealers actually stock the seats. I'd really like to actually sit on it before buying.
Have most Mustang seat owners bought their seat sight unseen?

 

should you have the opportunity...

a. at big bike rally's, Mustang would have a tent.

b. got a friend/neighbor that might have one installed;

c. bought mine direct from them...

happy...

good luck.

 

Just get it. You won't be sorry.

 

I had one paid $845 for seat & backrests it was a rock!!! i now ride a hammock seat from harley and LOVE it can sit on it a whole tank and never feel bad, plus you can try one at any hd dealer

 

And that's why you should at least sit on one before buying. One guy's rock is another guy's feather bed. You don't know until you try. I believe the dealer will put a Moco one on your bike to try out. Personally, I'm not a fan, but many people are.

I sat on a Mustang (Supertouring w/backrest) before buying. It's a quality seat - much better than stock imo. If you do like it, Google the part number for the best deal. I bought mine for $250 under retail that way.

 

Bought my Vintage Solo without tying it from Dennis Kirk. Love it!

 

FYI ... I got one in the classifieds. Yes I bought mine based on forum responses. It is a nice seat to most, and I'm happy with it too. Nothing suits everyone. I am going to try something different (kinda like pipes) and haven't found one to try out but again I got faith in HDF members responses to various items.

I had a mustang and a corbin. Mustang was fine for me 3-4 hours. After that I got but burn. The Corbin was fine for about 6-8. The mustang was a solo and the corbin was 2 up. I bought a used Mustang 2 up off of Craigslist for 300 that was like new. My .02 as seats are like helmets.

 

Another thing I've heard many people say, don't give up on the Mustang until it's broken in. Ride with it for while and it will get more comfortable as you go.

Now I don't know if that's true or not. Seems to me that if it has to be broken in, and it gets more comfortable as you go, then it will eventually go beyond comfortable and be back to uncomfortable again at some point. Just my way of thinking. Could be wrong.

 

Bought a Mustang seat sight unseen. Went by their descriptions. The seat was well made with a very solid seat pan. Construction was great. But, the caveat here is that it cured only part of my problem. It afforded more room for the passenger at the expense of reducing room for the rider. It pushed me forward so, that I literally was sitting on the gas tank. I also had to relocate my backrest mount one notch forward to fit the cutout. That in itself jacked me up and became uncomfortable on any trip of some length. I was forced to replace it with a HD Road Zeppelin. That was a wise choice. The "Road Sofa" may look ungainly wide, but on a large touring bike - not so much. As long as I am comfortable that is what counts.
