Put on a Mustang seat a coupla months ago and just did my first big ride with the seat....I dont like it...Could only manage around 2hrs riding time before my arse started hurting....Ride was over 2000ks so plenty hurt now..Back of my thighs are hurting from where they touch the seat...will probally be a week or so before i can actually sit down again....Looks like i will be forking out more money for the Ultimate...Momma didnt have a problem with the passenger seat..
sorry to hear that! I'm pissed I didn't get to go down under this last deployment. we WERE going to and we got jipped out of it..now I really want to go even more!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the pictures, looked like a nice trip despite the ass pains.
Had a corbin on my last ride and wished I had put it on way earlier.....my new ride has one as well....found that Mustang was too puffy or pushy (pushed me to far foward in the saddle)
Corbin is the way to go, over 400 miles on one trip and no problems, could have went another 400. I have the Hollywood solo. Not much on the custom look, butt it works.
Yeah Aussie i hear ya i would love to see sunrise over the ocean...seen it out in the middle sun up + down over land was different to what i am used to..Biggest shock was Darwin i couldnt figure out which point of the compass i was facing and i am country born and bred....
I have a Corbin on my bike. Very comfortable "in the cold". I say that because these engines are dry sump and the oil tank is under the seat. When it's hot outside, the seat gets hot to the point that the boys are roasting. To somewhat alleviate the problem, I bought one of those wooden bead seat covers, cut it to size and tied it on. It reduced the heat significantly by allowing air flow under me arse. Another plus is that when you ride in the wet, you're not sitting in a puddle of water. You're riding a half inch above it.

Good idea mate..If i can find some i will try it......
I have ridden 450 miles in one day, several times, on a mustang seat with back rest and I have had no problems. I have had herniated disc surgery (L5), 63 years old, 6'2" 290 pds. I don't know the model number, I'll check it out and post it. In fact, if I'm working in the garage or in the yard, and my back starts to hurt, I'll go sit on my bike and lean against the Mustang back rest. It really helps. Never had a Corbin or Ultimate so I can't compare.
I just bought a ultimate low rider,after 800 miles feels much better than stock.they did a nice job removing excess for inner thigh,i'm 5'6" so i can be flat foot on ground.good luck. Bob z
