Mustang Seat

[SimonTemplar]

I've had my Mustang since roughly May of '16. It will sit you slightly back and about an inch lower. But that small amount will lower the Center of Gravity and compleatly change the way your bike handles. Much better than stock. It is also much more comfortable than the stock seat. I couldn't ride the stock seat more than about 20-25 miles at a stretch without severe back and tailbone pain (so bad my upper legs would become totally numb from it). With the Mustang seat I can easily go 75-100. Perhaps even more...but being an old fart these days, that's about as far as other parts of me can go at a stretch anyway...so I'll never really know how far the Mustang will actually go.


If you are shorter, it will also get your feet more securely on the ground at a stop. Alas....I am 6'3 and about 290...so it makes me look a little silly on it. However, the bike handles so much better that I haven't complained.

All of that being said, I do have to admit that I have a Corbin seat on order to replace it.But it has been on order since way the hell back in January and I haven't seen it yet. Corbin has made numerous false promises and flat out lies about imminent shipping...then they finally broke down and said 'maybe June or July if you're lucky'. SO, I am going to be riding the Mustang for awhile yet.

I could do worse.

Does the mustang seat have to be removed before you can remove the side covers?

No.

Thanks for the feed back. I recall a problem with early Corbin seats having to be removed before side cover removal. I am not sure weather it has been rectified.

Its still a PITA. The left side is the hardest, but with a little work it is possible

Clearly we all have different opinions on this. I would say, "yes" the seat does have to come off to remove and reinstall the side covers (mostly reinstalling is tough).

I trimmed the edging of my Mustang seat pan to make it easier, and it is still a real pita. Removing and reinstalling the side panels was no problem at all with the stock seat.

Another question(or two)regarding the Mustang seat. Does it provide support under the thighs? I have an Ultimate King Rider that does well in that area but I would like to sit lower since I'm kinda short.
Do you guys have the original flat seating area or the "tuck & roll"?

Not in my opinion, no, but that is one of the reasons I like it. And mine is tuck and roll.

Thanks all, lotsa good information here.
