Well I talked to Seth and the price has went up. He quoted me $375.00 to install the backrest, gel it and ship it back. That was with me providing my passenger back rest to modify.

That looks great! Could you post a picture of the passenger seat? I'm curious to see how that looks.

just got the stock seat back today and popped it on...   came out better than I thought and had lots of adjusments too..  Up and down and the tilt can be moved as well...  Theys guys are really good.
How do you like the seat MOD?  Is the GEL worth it?  I talked to the guy last week and I am thinking about doing it.  Did you buy a new back rest pad?  If so do you have a part number for the pad?

I think it's called. Vintage.  It HAS a rider backrest.  And a rear pillon is available fot the passenger. It's really a great seat.  I don't use the seat I modified at all anymore. That was really a waste.  Get the mustang!! :2vrolijk_21:

Best decision I ever made was getting rid of the stock seat on my SESG3 and getting the Mustang Wide Tripper Solo w/back rest.  Great for all day riding.  You can also get a p-pillion for it too.  I didn't get one, as I ride the SESG3 solo.  (Use the SERGU for two-up riding)

Thanks for sharing !
What's the position difference between your Vintage seat and the 1st, higher ? nearer ? Mustang seats are said to fit long legs and arms...

I now have a Vintage super solo w/ backrest on my SESG12.  I am so glad I went with this and did not send my factory to NM for mod.  I ave thee 15 Solo on my RK03 and the good news is the rear Mustang will fit on my SESG12 17" super solo.  That will save me 200 bucks!  The only issue is it did push me forward on the bike a bit but the comfort of ther seat and the back rest is well worth the lost space!! The Mustang is truley the Best out of the Box seat for comfort, Quality, and $$$!!

Sounds like a solo seat I would be interested in.  I'm 5'6" and I do need pushed forward. I noticed that Mustang doesn't make a reach seat  :-\.  Do you think this will put me forward more than a stock seat?

I think so it says in info it gives you 1.25" more space than stock seat but I now have a bend in my knees on my road pegs where before i was straigh leg on them. It did seem like it raised me up from ground some. I am 6'4" so not an Issue with raise may give you problems with feet on ground.  I will get a measure to night to see what the seat height is now!! 8)
