#115199 Papa Bear (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 237 Re:Seats.... 3 Years, 8 Months ago   Just make sure that you scotch guard the recliner really good. When you get your mustang seat be sure to seal the seems good. Mustang uses a plastic(saran wrap) covering between the seat foam and the top cover. It makes it easier to put the cover on during assembly. The challenge is those seats collect water, even just from washing the bike. The plastic coating doesn't let the water evaporate, or breath out. We've rebuilt some fairly new Mustangs and the inner foam was already black with mold and beginning to rot.

He rebuilds seats and custom fits them. A lot cheaper than buying a new seat! For a couple hundred bucks wifeys seat in having the ridge taken off from around the edges...she says it pinches her legs...widened 2 inches and topped off with 3/4 inch of gel and a new cover and then wrapped in sheepskin. Mine is getting a gel pad with a relief cut for my tailbone. At about 1/3 the cost of a new seat.....will keep ya posted on this one too.   Logged     www.vikingwarhorse.webs.com -New trip story and pix 1/30/2010 THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AINT NOTHING LIKE THE COST OF LIVING HIGH   The administrator has disabled public write access. #115961 Frank_W (User) Riding The Filthy Sow! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3510 Re:Seats.... 3 Years, 8 Months ago   Maybe I need to switch to a Mustang, then. I've got the Corbin Dual Tour seat, and there is NO lower back support whatsoever. In just a few miles of riding, my back is killin' me.   Logged     My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #115966 IMTopGun1 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1959 Re:Seats.... 3 Years, 8 Months ago   I like my Mustang seat ... that little lower back support from the passenger seat makes a world of difference for me. However, it does push you forward as well as down some.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #115969 Frank_W (User) Riding The Filthy Sow! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3510 Re:Seats.... 3 Years, 8 Months ago   I wonder if it's a little lower than the Corbin... That would be okay with me.   Logged     My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #116031 Smooth (User) Support our troops!

I had a Mustang and now have a Corbin Dual Touring Saddle. IMO the Corbin sits lower. Surprised by the comment you made concerning the back support. Do you have a backrest? The Corbin backrest is fully adjustable.   Logged     http://www.hellrisercustoms.com/garageslide.php?id=smooth&slideno=3 2006 Midnight Silverado Roadstar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #116052 CoachDan (User) I'm Mechanically Inclined, I Screw Up Everything.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1869 Re:Seats.... 3 Years, 8 Months ago   wow dan, isn't that a new thread? My wife loves the mustang pillion. Can't speak for the other seats as all I've had is the mustang and stock. She hated the stock pillion. I'm so used to my mustang that my back hurts on my R* when I put the stock back on. My butt hurts me with the mustang though quicker than the stock did and it is easier to squirm around and find a semi-sweet spot on the stock seat (at least for 30 seconds ). Got the mustang for three reasons... nicer pillion, back rest for me, and I liked the looks.   Logged     2004 Road Star Silverado (original owner), over 55K mostly trouble-free miles Patriot Guard Rider, IBA Member, Star Touring & Riding   The administrator has disabled public write access. #116072 GJCARVING (User) Wether you think you can or can't, your right... Platinum Boarder Posts: 1063 Re:Seats.... 3 Years, 8 Months ago   Is the 1600 seat more dished than the 1700??? Looks in pictures to be a better looking more comfortable seat!   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/09/04 18:54 By GJCARVING.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #116074 slyguy (User) What happens in the garage stays in the garage. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1869 Re:Seats.... 3 Years, 8 Months ago   the 1600 is narrower than the 1700 seat. Guess bigger American butts...   Logged     2004 Road Star Silverado (original owner), over 55K mostly trouble-free miles Patriot Guard Rider, IBA Member, Star Touring & Riding   The administrator has disabled public write access.
