"Affordable" seat replacement
Well, I've read through some threads and it seems the Mustang might be the best bang for the buck. My number one gripe on my last one is the same as this one, the seat hurts my rear and causes me some back pain. Doesn't help I have a broken tailbone. I like the look of the Mustang seat, it's not over done like some. I guess it actually has a built in backrest due to you sitting lower on the bike. The passenger portion looks really well designed as well. Appears to have leg depressions, definitely cool, and it works with the OEM backrest. Any others I should consider? Looks to be about $530. With having to buy a new shield, and most likely two new helmets, gotta set some kind of budget..... :shock:

Russel Day-Long Custom seat
I didn't have a back seater, just me riding so I had them just do the drivers seat and build it out of the original seat pan. They want pictures of you on the bike and measurement of leg inseams and height and weight and they build you a very comfortable seat. I was very impressed with the comfort right from the day I put it back on the bike. If I remember right the seat plus shipping it back to me was $654 buck. But that didn't include me shipping it too them.Attachment 4420

I also had issues with the OEM seat do I tried the Mustang but it was not right for me. Then I tried the Saddleman seat, which I am selling for $350, although it almost worked due to a better cover and more sophisticated padding. After selling the Mustang, I finally had the OEM seat rebuilt by LuiMoto in Vancouver using their "gold" gel padding inside of a custom suede cover. It was still cheaper than the Mustang and works the best, but shipping to Vancouver is expensive.
If you are interested, I can send pic's of these options. Good luck!
