I have been on the fence about which seat to go with, it was between Mustang & Ultimate, I knew the RDL wasn't for me.
As far as looks I like the profile of the Mustang better than the Ultimate, it has a sleeker design that fits the lines of the F6B better imo. The Ultimate has a higher profile and looks "fatter". The deal breaker for me with the Mustang was the lower seating position (I'm 6'3 and don't need that) and that you can't take the side covers off without removing the seat. The side cover issue was the big one, I don't know what Mustang was thinking? The other determining factor was that Ultimate has 2 models, a Standard version & a King version. The King sits you back and inch and half further from the stock position which is perfect for my height. Right now my legs are a little too bent and the bars are a little too close for my tastes, I'm hoping this seat will help with that. After I get used to the new seating position I will see if I need to add risers and the lower Kury mini floor boards.
One thing I didn't like about the purchase is that I have no desire what so ever for a riders backrest. To have the hole for the backrest covered up so I didn't have that unsightly flap made my seat "custom". There is a no return policy for what they call custom orders so their 14 day return policy for me is out the window. If I don't like it I'm stuck with it. Oh well, hopefully I will love it. The best part is the price I got it for....The seat is $750 shipped. I got a free freight discount from the F6B forum which saved $55 then I had a 20% off coupon from a forum member who wasn't going to use it.......$556 total! I saved $194....not too shabby!!!
The seat should be here in two weeks and I can't wait! I'm not sure why I'm so excited....there is 6 inches of snow and ice outside right now! :icon_biggrin:
