I am in the same predicament as the OP.

Has anyone tried the Harley Signature series seat which includes the rider backrest?

I got the mustang royal for my Fatboy. The wife loves it I hate it. Moved me forward a ton and is hard.  I had my stock seat modified with a gel pad. I love it and wife has to tough it out.  Mustang collecting dust in basement.

6 shooter Mustang used to have  a return / exchange program if you bought the set directly from them. I heard rumor Mustang is now owned by some conglomerate. Anyone know ?  :nix:

According to their website, any returns are subject to a restocking fee.....20%


6 shooter , under the Mustang website support tab , returns tab you have 10 days to return a seat and exchange for a similar or greater value seat without being subject to 20% restocking fee. I`m not sure about shipping charges. If you attend some bike events and find a Mustang seat you like on a softtail talk to the owner, they will probably allow you to set on the bike.

That's at least $40 per test.

3-4 months after purchasing my 04 Fatboy replaced the stock seat with a cinderblock brick probably 5 times more comfortable than the stock seat
Then purchased a Mustang  :bike: 500-600 mile days no pain no problem

I believe it has to do where you plant your feet also.

Check out C&C. Great seat, great company to work with.


They will make just about any seat you desire and deliver it within one week :up: :up:

One problem with Mustang....On many new models they eliminated the standard solo seat and only make WIDE solo seats....Ok if yo have a big ass, but too wide for the rest of us. I had a standard size solo on my old softail. My son ordered a solo for his Dyna not realizing it was wide..It made the bike look like a John Deer.

I have a 2004 softail standard

I hated the stock seat. It was too soft and but ache would occur in a short time.

I purchased the HD fatboy sundowner seat.

Firm and very comfortable
Have had now for years and it is still great.

That's my advice and I am sitting on it!

Well, I ended up going with a Mustang Vintage Solo. Model 75750...I figured if I didn't like it then I could always sell it without much loss.

After a week of riding 20 miles to work and back, I like it. It is softer than the previous seat. Definitely let's me settle into it and stay put better. When I hit a hard bump, I can feel the seat soak up some of the hit as well as some vibrations. It's only been a week, but I'm very happy. Can't wait to see how it does on a longer ride.

I thought my old seat was stock. But when I pulled it I saw a Corbin-Gentry tag calling it a "butt bucket". If anyone wants it, just let me know. It looks good, but is too hard for my @$$ and back.
