I like that a lot! I don't like being an inch lower though, at 6'3 the stock height is perfect. The inch further back however is very appealing as my arms are bent too much for my comfort. I will be getting risers over the winter to move the bars forward and up a little. Might have to give this seat a try.
Curious if 'farther back' is only in reference to the bottom of the riders seat. Riders 'backrest' area on the Mustang is a lot more vertical than the sloping OEM portion.
Still, a nice looking seat.
Wife had a Mustang on her Vulcan 900 that was SWEET! Same goes for the Mustang on my Friends Shadow 750.
MY Mustang on MY Liner dug into the bottom of my thighs. Same thing happened to the wife when we put my Mustang on HER Liner.
Pan size/shape has a lot to do with seats.
With the foot positioning of the F6B, I'm not sure I'd want to go any further down w/o highway pegs.
Mustang makes awesome seats. The 1 inch lower seat height should not compromise rider comfort. The foam padding that they use to construct their seats is far superior to any OEM seat foam. In addition to placing the rider 1 inch lower and further back, the seat also offers an 8 inch rise behind the driver to give additional back support, and the contoured passenger portion should definitely increase passenger comfort Cruiser Customizing sells boatloads of Mustang Seats and rarely has anyone ever been unhappy with their comfort and style. For all that goes into a Mustang Seat, the $579 to $599 price tag is a bargain. Especially for a long distance cruiser like the F6B

And better deal!
I will be ordering, it is a better deal than from Mustang Website!
Hello there,
Maybe you can answer my questions since no one else has. Once you have your seat, could you measure the difference between the actual seating area of the passenger and the rider and compare that to the stock seat? I would like to know if the rider versus passenger head hight while sitting on the bike will be the same as stock. I love the look of the seat and the 1" drop, but I don't want a seat that would have my wife's head higher up than mine. I also would like to know if the sides have been tapered, getting rid of, or diminishing, the pressure on the rider's inner upper thighs when standing still with feet on the ground.
I hope you have the time to check this out for myself and others who might be interested in that info.
We would greatly appreciate your feedback regarding the seat if you end up ordering it from Cruiser Customizing.

I had a Mustang seat on my Suzuki C50 and it made a world of difference. At this point I don't have any issues with the F6B seat (have only done 250 in a day and that was 125 - 2 hour break - 125) but I do wonder about it in the long run, also I like the looks of the Mustang better.
I do share part of Scotrods concern, while I wish I was an inch lower from the perspective of being able to flat-foot the bike comfortably I am not big on the idea of having an extra inch of bend in my knees. I am thinking that maybe the Mustang seat with the Kuryakyn pegs that give a 3/4" drop might be the way to go, although chances are it is an upgrade that will have to wait until beginning of next year so I will be watching for reviews if anyone else decides to be the forum guinea pig.
The deluxe version will give a really nice look to F6B in my opinion. I might just have to bite the bullet and get it!
