Re: mustang seat

I put one on my 2006 883c. I believe the vintage solo. It is wider but once my feet hit the pegs its awesome ! It also added alot of ride time between stops.I got it on ebay new for a great price.

Re: mustang seat

I've seen a two up Mustang seat I may buy off ebay. I'd like to ask if the rider's seat is wider than stock and would it therefore make getting your feet down more difficult. My feet reach ok at the moment but I wouldn't like to be any further away from the ground by fitting a significantly wider seat.

I'd be grateful for any comments.

Re: mustang seat

a wider seat will make it more difficult to reach the floor as it pushes on the inside of the legs, hence i have, lower and narrower as in the Le Pera bare bones

Re: mustang seat

I have a Wide Vintage Solo and a Wide Vintage Pillion and I have been happy with them for the last 6500 miles.

Re: mustang seat

I have a Mustang Touring seat with rider backrest on my 02 Sportster. I think it is very comfortable. It does set you up a little, but I can still touch the ground with no problem (I'm 5'-8") .I think the added height is from thicker padding.

Re: mustang seat

I put a Mustang wide touring seat on a 07 883, it was great, very comfortable riding, didn't have any problems with quality or touching the ground.

I enjoyed and would buy another if I need to.

Re: mustang seat

When I was in the market for a "touring" seat, I looked at Mustang and Corbin. I went with Corbin for both style, fit and comfort. It flows with the lines of the bike nicely. It is narrow in front and moves you forward about an inch for us vertically challenged folk. I bought the matching passenger pillion and my wife and I have been across country and back on it. It's a great seat.
