Guest Nevada Max Posted January 30, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2009 I am frustrated with the seating on my 05 RSTD that I am considering an after market with a drivers back rest. I'm 6' 2" with and inseam of 33. I've read that these mustangs push you forward and up a bit. My handlebars almost touch my knees on a turn but I'm supposing I can uplift the handlebars an inch or so. Any experince with Mustang vintage wide with a driver backrest Thanks in advance Nevada Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted January 30, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 30, 2009 No experience with a Mustang seat. But if it's leg room and knees not hitting the handlebars that you're looking for, you might consider a Corbin. I'm 6'1" 34" inseam myself. My Corbin Dual Tour seat sets me a bit higher and a bit farther back, which gave me more leg room than I thought this bike had in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any experince with Mustang vintage wide with a driver backrest Thanks in advance Nevada Max I have a brand new set that I bought for my 07 RSTD (before it got laid down) - they were only about 2 weeks old! Seats never got a scratch. I had Mustangs on my Boulevard C-50 and loved them. I bought these mainly for the wife because the pillion is one of the best in my opinion (and hers). I can honestly say that I don't believe that the Mustang sat me any higher up, but it did move me a little forward. I could adjust to that by sitting as far back in the seat as I could and when using the highway bars - just rocking back on my backrest. Keep in mind that I also installed the Flanders bars for a little more pullback. I am selling the seats because I traded the 07 in on a Stratoliner - if you decide to go that way. I won't be putting them on Ebay for a week or so... Shep Oh BTW - it is the 3 piece outfit driver, passenger and driver backrest. I paid about $650 for them new off Ebay - I would take 500.00.

mountainhorsega Posted January 31, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 31, 2009 Don't notice higher but do notice further forward. If you already feel crowded, the mustang might be a problem. The guy we bought from was tall and said that was why he was selling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nevada Max Posted February 1, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 1, 2009 I hope I did the right thing. I just bought the mustang seat, the driver back rest and passenger seat used but in great shape for $275. The guy threw in a luggage rack, manuals, and cover as well. I will keep the OEM seat in case Thanks for all the advice. I'll let u know the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
