Mustang Touring seat

**Adam Jamka** · 03-12-2016, 05:16 AM

Hello all.

Riding season is getting close here in Vermont and I am going to buy a new seat for my Spyder.

I have looked at them all, I have had Corbin seats in the past and always end up thinking they are to stiff. So that seat is out.
I keep going back to the Mustang seat with the passenger backrest. for the Wife, I like the looks of it and the fact that they are hand made really interests me. Do any of you men have one on your Spyder, and if you do how do you like the feel of it on your butt? I need to get rid of the stock seat, it makes my butt numb after a couple of hours in the saddle.

.
May I please have your thoughts.

Thanks........

I think that we're ALL waiting for that first "Report From The Saddle"...

Nobody has said anything about them yet...

I know you asked about Mustang but I picked up an Ultimate seat in Daytona and it is fantastic. I couldn't sit on stock longer than 30-60 min without achy butt and I rode back 3 hours on the Ultimate with no problem.

I'm on the fence too waiting on a report from others about the Mustang seat...

I'm with the rest waiting to see how they have done with the spyder seat. Their motorcycle seat have had great reviews so it should be a good one...

I had a mustang seat with drivers backrest on my 2 wheeler, the difference between the stock seat and the mustang was like night and day. I can't say how it would be on the spyder but would be interested to see how it stacks up against the ultimate, the mustang is cheaper but my butt has no fathom of money, so will watch for reports like everyone else. I am currently running the comfort seat with drivers backrest.

Well I just took the plunge and ordered the seat and the backrest for the Passenger. I will let you all know what I think once I get the chance to get some miles on it.

I live in Vermont so it will be a few weeks before I came comment on the ride, but I will.

I had three Mustang seats on assorted two wheelers. By far, a noticeable improvement over OEM.

Waiting to hear that first

revue to see if they are as good as the other Mustang seats.

PS: Hey Mustang--If you need a tester that rides a lot, and will give a review--give me a holler. I can install or get it installed when the package arrives.

**TEWKS** · 03-12-2016, 08:29 PM

Bought and installed the Mustang about a month ago. Only about 50 miles on it but a major improvement no doubt!

I believe you'll be very happy with your decision.

One little negative I found today is the seat will scuff your paint were it sits against the body panels. I suggest getting some clear film to protect the paint around the front edges. Not really a huge issue, you don't see it until you lift the seat.

**Bob Denman** · 03-18-2016, 01:40 PM

of the affected area?
You're right; there's an easy solution available for this sort of issue...

**TEWKS** · 03-18-2016, 02:02 PM

Good idea!

Not terrible but yup, something that can be avoided.

**Bob Denman** · 03-18-2016, 02:06 PM

Oh! I forgot to ask to see a picture of the new seat on your bike...

**TEWKS** · 03-18-2016, 02:11 PM

How's this?

Think I said it before but the seat is awesome so far!

**Bob Denman** · 03-18-2016, 02:39 PM

That seat looks GREAT on your bike!!

**Brentc** · 03-18-2016, 03:32 PM

You better move that spyder, your going to get that fantastic, clean shop dirty!

Im envious, great looking spyder and shop....

**TEWKS** · 03-18-2016, 03:57 PM

Thanks, yours ain't too bad either!

Yeah, the garage is rather obscene in a man town sorta way.

It became possible out of two things I thought were negatives at the time. About ten years ago the town ran sewage through my side yard. They wanted to go through my septic system but I made them go around it. A few years later my system failed and I had to hook up anyway.

$$
This left me enough room where the system was for the garage!

I thought that it was my Doctor's examination room...

If my math is correct, the complete "package" is close to $1200.00. How does cost compare with the Corbin, Ultimate and RDL offerings??????????

All close to each other price wise. Don't forget shipping costs. Mustang, $1300, RDL, $1330. Corbin, $1400. I have a RDL on the way. Custom made from the ground up. Also more color choices. As well as stitching choices. RDL takes 6 weeks to be made.

A little cheaper than MSRP & free shipping.

I may have a weird butt but so far I like the stock seat. However, I have only ridden about two hundred miles at a time. Maybe its just in comparison to the horrible seat on my Honda Shadow Aero 750, but I have been favorably impressed with the stock seat.

**Adam Jamka** · 03-20-2016, 04:56 AM

The best price I found was from one of our sponsors right here on this site. Value Accessory's.
you can get the complete setup for your spyder for $1,041.65. That will include free shipping and a t-shirt.
At that price it was a no brainier, really.

And who does not like free Swag...
I have used them a few times now and I am always happy with the pricing and the service they provide. Good people.

The only thing I did not like about this seat was the fact that you had to ship them your old seat to us it as the pan. I would much rather keep my stock seat, for that price I would much rather have a custom pan made for my ride. But to each his own. I am sure it will be a fine seat.

That would be my only knock on RDL. But they don't do seat pans for any make. I was able to pick up a donor seat cheap.
