Obviously it was more comfortable than the Mustang, but how did your wife like the mustang and yourself?? How far could you guys ride on the mustang?? Just trying to get an idea on the differnce. How is the seating postion compared to the Mustang, closer or farther from the bars?? Just one more question, do you have any pics of your bike with the venture seat on it? Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for the info so far.. What seat is on your bike in the gallery? Also how many miles on the venture seat before pain sets it?? For you and the wife.

If you dont mind me asking what needs to be done to change from the stock seat to the Venture seats?? Mounting Brackets need changes??

I purchased a leftover 2008 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe this summer, and love the bike. The Stock seat only lasted a couple of weeks as it was not comfortable for me or my wife. So we decided to try the Mustang seat, better than the stocker but no perfect by any means. I could go 75 miles without any pain, and my wife only about 35 miles. I have a airhawk seat pad she uses on the rear seat and that extends her riding to around 50-60 miles without stopping. After a few months of this setup, I decided to send the seat to Rick Butler for his seat mod on the Mustang seat. At first it seemed better, the wife can go 40-45 miles on this seat without the Airhawk pad, me I can go around 80 miles and my rear starts to hurt. I mean pain not numb rear. So to my questions my other choices are the Corbin, Ultimate seat, or try to find a used seat of a Venture and modify the brackets to work. Who has tried any of the above and what are your impressions?? Can anyone compare any of the above to the Mustang? Does anyone have any pics of the RSTD with the Venture seat on it?? And how is it working out?? Thanks in advance for your help and have a great day. Morgan.
