    Well, for Christmas I received a Mustang Seat and passenger pylon, and put them on the bike. Unfortunately, it was winter, so no test ride. We have had a long late spring up here, and with my travels, I had been unable to test the seat until this week.

    I have to say WOW, what a difference! :D It is night and day on the comfort level! I can now ride several hundred miles in an afternoon, and still walk normal! The only downside is that the seat sits several inches higher, so my windscreen does not work effectively anymore, so I just took it off.

    Gotta go, sun is shinin' and the bike is callin'!:)

    I just put a Corbin on mine and so far so good but we haven't had enough decent weather to put many miles on. I'm looking forward to a long trip.

    I ran a Mustang seat on my old Ultra and loved it. I think they are the best massed produced seat on the market.

    I get the message, load and clear. Here are the requested pics. The seat is a solo with a passenger pylon. The backrest and rack are quick detach type. I just need to get a rear fender bib to hold the saddlebags on for riding solo. I know it is not much, but the bike has something none other has, a clear title with my name on!:cool:

    Actually, it is a good thing the pics are small, otherwise you would see all the bug splatter on it!

    I usually wait till I get caught in a rainstorm, that takes care of the bugs and grime! Today is going to be a good day for riding, and my daughter needs the mirrors on her truck repaired, so I am packing some tools and heading to Minneapolis to repair them. Eight hours in the saddle, this will truly test the seat!

    It did lower my position and pushed me further forward. The seat is very narrow too. I'm 5'7" tall so this is more comfortable for me when stopped but it feels sort of funny when I'm driving but okay. I'm sure I'll get use to it.

    I have to learn how to post pictures better here. By the time I made the file small enough to post, the picture is a dink.
