Seat
Big Russian,
I changed to the Yamaha optional accessory seat on my 2004
1100. I have a Mustang seat on my Stratoliner. It has been a while on the 1100, I remember it was better but that's about I recall. I was mostly interested in the passenger seat. I believe some priority has been put on lowering the seat height and seat padding has suffered. So after market seats are getting more popular for those of us tall enough.
I believe the Yamaha after market set was firmer and thicker than stock. The Mustang seat has a slightly differant shape and is soft at first then firms up as you compress it. I had the two peace Mustang seat. Some have complained about the one peace seat.
Something to think about, some of our comfort comes with just toughening up the bottom and getting used to the position. Just like on a bycycle you get toughter as you go a long. I believe some of the stories about going from tired in 50 miles, to riding all day after changing the seat are stetched a bit. Posture is also a big factor.
