First: The seat LOOKS really good. The diamond stitching and brown color look fantastic on my silver 2014 Fat Boy. Mustang's quality is easy to see in the seat.<br /><br />HOWEVER... I purchased this seat with the first-hand knowledge that the Mustang Vintage Wide Touring seat is an amazingly comfortable seat and others seemed to think that this Daytripper was just as comfortable. I was VERY disappointed after fitting it onto my bike and going for a ride. The seat itself is only barely marginally more comfortable (to me, at least) than the stock HD seat. I do really like the back support, but the seat just is nowhere near the comfort level of the Vintage Wide Touring seat. I am even more disappointed that I can't return the seat after trying it out, as the return policy for seats states that if the seat shows ANY SIGNS of fitment onto the bike, they can not take it back. I personally think that is rather poor; without being able to try out the exact seat on the exact model of bike, there's no way of knowing if you'll like it or not. These seats aren't inexpensive by a long shot, so not being able to return one after trying it out is a real kick in the teeth (not to mention wallet). So I have shelled out another $470 on a Vintage Wide Touring seat, and hopefully can sell this Daytripper for only a small loss.

The seat looks great on my bike. The diamond stitching adds a nice touch. It sits me lower and a little further back than my stock seat. I am 6'3'' so every little bit helps. The seat is firm compared to stock but much more comfortable. After exhaustive research, I'm glad I made this choice. Thumbs up to Mustang!!
Worth every penny!
This seat is hands down the best upgrade I've made for comfort. I initially tried the Harley-Davidson Sundowner, which was better than stock, but this is on another level.<br /><br />I used to have back pain after about an hour of riding, now I can ride all day without any issues. The passenger pad is a big improvement as well.<br /><br />The backrest is a must, it adds a ton of support, especially at highway speeds, and completely eliminates fatigue
