Mustang Touring Seat - for Tall Riders

This is my 2nd Mustang seat, replacing the stock HD seats. My first was a 13 Fatboy, and now a 16 Electraglide Ultra Classic. I find them much more comfortable, especially for long distances - I just don't feel the need to stop riding to rest my rear end. That said, the Mustang seats that I've used are more firm, and set the rider up a bit higher than stock seats. In both cases, I measured ~1.5" higher, which is great for us taller riders (6' 2'' with 34" inseam). And the tall rider version sits you back, away from the handlebars by about 1.5". Between the two changes, it makes for much needed extra leg room. The only downside to the tall rider version is it takes away from the passenger seating area. Mustang says that it doesn't, but my wife says otherwise. Oh, I also use the version of seat with the built-in back rest receiver.

Very pleased with the comfort of the Mustang Super touring seat. My wife even liked the comfort of the passenger seat. We road 394 miles on a one day trip without hurting. We were lucky to be able to ride 100 to 150 miles with the factor Harley seat with out stopping. Very good seat!!!!

Best Two-Up Long Distance Seat Yet

While I loved the stock seat on my '19 RG, my girlfriend hated it, especially on trips more than about 25 miles. So, off to the dealership I went. I tried 4-5 of the HD "comfort" seats and hated them all. They all pushed me too far forward and elevated my seating position. I'm 6'1", 225 lbs, with a 32" inseam. I already have trouble getting to the rear brake pedal. My heal usually rests on the front edge of the floorboard.<br /><br />Since I didn't have any luck with any of the HD seats, I thought I would see what else was out there. After some searching, it came down to this seat and the Saddleman Road Sofa. I liked the price on this one the best, so I gave it a shot. Since I put this on, I've added about 2500 miles to the bike, 1000 of which was a 2 day road trip that my girlfriend and I took. The difference was night and day. I still have to stop every now and then to let her stretch her legs, but what was about 25-30 miles is now about 100 miles. <br /><br />Pros:<br />1) The driver position is much wider than stock which does provide added comfort and a bit more stability when dealing with high cross winds. <br />2) The driver position is pushed back a bit which gives me a bit more room on the floorboards and I can better access the rear brake.<br />3) The passenger position is wide and flat. this provides much more comfort for the passenger and as a bonus, makes securing luggage to that position much easier.<br /><br />Cons:<br />1) The front portion of the seat near the tank is a bit too wide for me. There is a very noticeable pressure point on my inner thighs with my feet down.<br />2) The driver position is raised up a bit. A taller windshield is definitely next on the list.<br />3) This thing is THICK and it stands out. I definitely lost that sleek bagger look.<br /><br />Overall, I like this seat. If I had to purchased another one, knowing what I know now, I definitely would.

Extremely comfortable seat!

As we all know, the stock seats are not always the most comfortable. I mostly ride solo during the week, and my wife rides pillion on the weekends. She had a lot of discomfort with the stock seat. I got uncomfortable with the stock seat after about 45 mins to an hour of riding.<br /><br />I bought the Mustang seat, and it is a world of difference! It sits you up a little higher than the stock seat, but for me it was not enough of a difference to affect my footing on the ground. It also sits you a little farther back than the stock seat does, which, for me, was great. I am only 5'7" tall, and don't have very long legs at all, but sitting slightly farther back made a big difference in comfort, as well. I feel like I have more legroom, and I didn't realize I needed it until after I installed the seat and felt the difference.<br /><br />My wife loves the new seat, as well. We have gone on several rides, and she says that the passenger pillion is so much more comfortable than what she was used to with the stock seat. <br /><br />All in all, I highly recommend this seat for anybody that is looking for more comfort.

This seat is exactly what I needed

I have had this seat for about 2 months now and love it. I needed a seat that gave me more room for my legs. I always felt cramped and uncomfortable on my Harley Ultra Limited stock seat. I bought this one because of the reviews and I was desperate. I didn't enjoy riding my bike for long rides anymore on the stock seat. I can honestly say this seat was worth every penny I paid for it. It gave me about 1.5 inches more inches from the gas tank and another inch or so higher off the ground. I was amazed that only a few inches can make a huge difference. It was exactly what I needed to enjoy long rides again.

Rode it 225 miles first day and could not wait to get off. I hope it gets better for what I paid.
