BEST Long Distance Motorcycle Seat - Mustang Review after 1100 trip

[@raybowers4657]

I like that window shield .

[@BoDean52]

me too and rode with it all year

[@Lunatic-Fringe31]

I put a Mustang Low down on my 2005 Road King and opted for the driver back rest. I originally purchased it based on the reviews for passenger comfort as my wife hated the stock passenger seat. I didn't realize what a difference these after market seats can make. Total game changer and probably the best overall single upgrade I've done to my bike (and I've done a lot). Great channel, I've been watching for a few years now. Thanks for sharing.

[@BoDean52]

Really appreciate that and glad you have what works for you. Mustang just does it for me!

[@kerrymcclure7503]

Bought a new saddleman seat for a gold ring. My wife and me hated it. I replaced it with a Corbin, We both loved it. I replaced the gold wing with a Harley ultra. The original seat was great.We had no issues un tell it was Wore out at about 50000 miles. Replaced it with the Mustang seat. It has about 75000 miles on it still going good. Be careful, ride safe.

[@BoDean52]

Heard good things about Corbin too!

I got the Saddleman lock . Uses a special wrench about $20. Our RGs are set very similar. I think you have Stage 1 w rineharts , me too. In New Hampshire so no riding here till April.

Thanks and yes on the Rineharts, like them

[@robertbarnes8614]

I went by the Mustang Seat manufacturer in Palmer Ma. Great group of employees. I got the orange stitch for my ‘24 RG in Whisky Fire . Looks great. I do recommend a seat lock to protect your 950 $ investment.

Great point on the lock! What do you use?

On my 2024 road glide cvo I reached out to mustang seats out at the Sturgis rally through facebook they had them in stock they shipped it overnight and had it by 1pm the next day nothing beats a mustang seat I have had them for years

[@huibertdegraaf9622]

I put a saddlemen roadsofa on my 24 roadglide and absolutely hate it. Got 7000 km on it now and still sucks. Thinking of getting a mustang seat now.

[@BoDean52]

People seem to either love the Saddleman or hate it. I have years on Mustangs so only way for me. You will like them

[@scott2228]

I want this seat in the solo version. However, it’s not made for the ‘22 and older Touring models. I just emailed Mustang to see about a custom job. It’s crazy that they don’t make this seat for older bikes as a solo. There has to be a demand for it. Hopefully 1 off custom jobs aren’t too much more.

[@BoDean52]

I’ve used their two up seats all the way back to 2018 but never really looked at solo. Guess they can’t make enough money off it.

[@scott2228]

I had one on a Sportster. I also had a Corbin. Mustang is the way to go for touring. Hopefully custom is to much more. Already pricy.

[@erniemorgan471]

I haven’t had any luck with Mustang seats. I’ve tried a couple and just never got comfortable on them. I’m currently riding on a heated Harley seat that I’ve used on three different bikes. It was starting to show some wear and tear so I boxed it up and shipped it to Sick Saddles in Lakeland, FL and they did an amazing job refurbishing it. On a different note, I took my ‘23 Ultra to my dealer for the 5k service yesterday and a salesman hit me up to do a demo ride on both the ‘24 Road Glide and the ‘24 Street Glide. Being a hard core Bat Wing guy I was convinced that I would like the Street Glide better but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I absolutely loved the Road Glide! What an awesome ride! Thank God the service department got finished with the service on my ‘23 Ultra when they did or I might have found myself trading!! I see now why you are so excited about yours.

I can see that, narrower for sure

[@gregsteinbach2165]

Riding a saddlemen road sofa extended reach on my 24 RG. Had one on my 2020 RG as well. Mustang seats look wider which may benefit me as you and I are the same size.

[@lmj5994]

I have a Mustang standard touring solo with passenger wide seat with backrest. First thing I noticed when I sat on the seat is that I don't notice it. And I haven't noticed it since. Which, in my opinion, makes it the perfect seat.

Curious, what is it that would prevent this from being installed on a 21 RG? Looks nice on there congrats.

I am not positive probably because of the frame change. I just know the older ones do not fit.

[@lowsteezegaming4375]

I got a 24 road glide as well didn’t really have any comfort issues on the stock seat but I didn’t like how close up on the tank I was so I opted to go with the saddleman road sofa I had a saddleman previously on my older bike and it was absolutely not comfortable but went to the dealer demoed the road sofa for the new bikes and bought it absolutely love it didn’t even have a break in period on it

Well? Thoughts?

[@drodman34]

@@jeffallen5279 I researched alot of seats and watched many KZbin videos on others opinion. The Mustang Deluxe Touring with the red stitching is definitely the best looking seat in my opinion. I purchased the drivers backrest and also bought the passenger wrap around backrest. I have a chopped tour pac. Mustang tells you It doesn't fit on a chopped only on the king Tourpac. I wanted a more comfortable seat and backrest for my passenger. Just have to drill the holes for it. The best look and comfort I think. For the seat it does sit you higher by an inch. I don't see any difference in if it sits you back any. I have only had a chance for a few short rides but is definitely more comfortable than the stock seat. I wasn't sold on the seats that have jell padding.

[@MotorCity2up]

The best seat ever!!!!!

[@stevebeard4117]

Have a stock Vulcan 900 Classic.I used the stock seat the first year and was basically limited to just a couple hours before I had to get off and take a break.I couldn't afford a new Mustang,so during the winter I found a used one with back rest for less than 1/2 of the cost of a new one. Now I can ride all day with no more back pain. I just got back from a week of riding in the Ozarks and the riding itself wore me out,but I never had an issue w/seat comfort. For reference,I'm 6 ft 2, 215 lb, have a scoliosis and am 74. Without that seat,I might have quit riding. One thing I may do though is get a sheepskin cover for it.

I have an older super touring Mustang seat the I purchased back in 2016 ,and it has became not as comfortable as I would Like, so I purchased a Harley Hammock seat for my 2019 Road Glide Ultra and it has been a reasonable comfortable touring seat that I would feel good for 450 miles or so a day.. A year ago I had a 5 hour back surgery and had a titanium Rod and 3 cages installed in my lower back. I am contemplating on trying my Mustang once again. I am also wanting to know if the Newer Mustang super touring seat with the beautiful center stitching is an improvement in long range comfort. I would also like to add that one thing about the stock Mustang back rest and feel it was not as comfortable Harleys adjustable riders back rest Pad. I would also add that I am going to be 70 miles of age tomorrow and I am hoping that I don't have unrealistic expectations in looking for a seat that will make me feel like it use to feel for the last 55 years of riding. Thank-your consideration.

Thanks and the 2024 motorcycle is more narrow so you have to put a new seat on it or I would’ve had the same one from my older bike

[@rjsauvageau1967]

Like I told you before, I called Mustang and the lady claimed they had no plans to make a seat for the 24’s, so I reluctantly ordered a Saddlemen. I will be going with Saddlemen from now on! I like the narrow front for reaching the ground and the gel really works. It’s more comfortable than the two Mustangs I had on previous bikes. I prefer the looks of the Mustang. My wife says the Saddlemen Road Sofa is the most comfortable seat she’s been on. The only downside is she can’t fit comfortably with my backrest on on the Saddlemen like she could on the Mustang. So that’s a bummer, but the lumbar support is great so it’s not huge deal.

[@BoDean52]

Glad you have one you like and think she told you wrong. The seat is the same as a 2023 CVO seat for Mustang.

[@ronkelly255]

Ive been over a year now trying to find a one-up aftermarket seat for my '07 RK. It came with a new two-up Saddleman that works well with my AirHawk seat cushion. But unfortunately a previous owner must have been well over 6', because even with 12" mini-apes, I have to lean forward more than I want to . . . and, there is no slot in the seat for a driver backrest. I pursued Adam Sandler's seat a couple years ago, but at the time they weren't sure they were going to continue making them after covid. So, I'm probly going to have to call Mustang or another supplier because the bike is so old, idk? Anyway, I appreciate your reviews on the different seats even though you're a good bit taller.

good luck Ron and let me know how it goes!

[@drodman34]

I have been searching for a seat for months. Have a 15 SGS with a chopped tour pac and extended foot controls stock seat that's recovered by the builder. I'm comfortable with my position but my girl gets uncomfortable after an hour. I'm 6' 195. Im looking mainly for her comfort. Saddleman is by far the nicest looking but with gel I think it would be to hard. Also looking at Badboyz Cyclez. I think their Freedom seat is sharp but the fact the rear pillion rocks some that and the 2 piece i wasn't fond of. Im leading to the Mustang I think but don't want extended reach. Decision decisions.

Ordered a saddleman for my 24 street glide. Loved it. Problem is they will not work with saddlebag guards. Why they would design a seat that wouldn’t work with additional aftermarket parts is beyond me. So luckily I ordered the seat before the disclaimer was on their website and had to unfortunately send it back. Currently waiting on my refund, with no idea how long it’s going to take them to design a seat to accommodate saddlebag guards.

[@BoDean52]

It is my understanding that this seat will work with them, but it’s a little bit tight. My guards are on backorder so I wish I could tell you what they would work, but I have my fingers crossed.

While waiting for my seat to come in I’ve put about 2000 miles on the stock seat and if it put me back a few inches I might have stayed with it. I have Saddleman Road Sofa on my Road King. Just an awful seat (for me.) hard as a rock after 6000 miles. Ultimately, I went with BadBoyz Cyclez Python seat. The have great reviews and always compared to the top tier seats like Mustang.
