Mustang seat is the best most comfortable in my opinion
I change all my seats. To the mustang seats. On my Indian Chiefton., and my Harley ultra classic. Before I found these I must’ve went through $2000 worth of seats and you guys know what I’m talking about. Everybody claims theirs is the best and I tried a few of them. I’ve got them up in the attic. They’re almost brand new but they were horrible. The Mustang just fits me right the passenger seat is easy to hook right up to it. It’s a hell of a good seat little bit stiff when you first get it, but after about two hours on the seat, it just kind of breaks into your butt. You know what I mean we did a four hour ride the other day and usually I’ve gotta stop every half hour or 45 minutes you know and get up and walk around not on this it just like sitting in your car seat but that’s just me. I really like it

I spent up to 4 grand to find the right seat. And everyone says they have the best seat. Well for me this was the seat. Also the staff at this store are great and real knowledgeable they will help you as long as you go in that store

Perfect for the long haul rides.
This is the seat I had been searching for, the comfort right out of the box was excellent and with the rider backrest it was even more impressive. The American Beauty red stitching gives a nice detail and breaks up the otherwise all black seat, the material has a nice grip so you’re not sliding around in the saddle, it sits you in a very comfortable riding position and doesn’t sit you up too high either.

Best Seat Ever
My original seat was 8 years old and worn. I am taking a long trip next month with my wife and we decided we needed a new seat. I specifically chose this seat because it is heated and we are traveling north through some mountains. We are both very pleased with the comfort and added padding it gives us. Haven't had a chance to use the heater yet as it is over 100 degrees at our home, but it was easy to connect and we expect to get years of use from it.

Heated Touring Seat
I'd love to give it 5 stars. The heated portion doesn't really put out much heat. That's the negative. The positive, the seat is insanely comfortable compared to stock, even with no break in. I sit a little higher and further back and my knees are happier. I'm 6'1" and it's ideal from a seat position standpoint. The stock seat was garbage and was crotch numbing after 45 minutes. No numb crotch with Mustang!
