 I have narrowed my choices down to three seats. These are the three seats:

76212   Mustang Tripper Solo Seat
for 2008 Road Kings, FLHX Street Glides, FLTR Road Glides, & FLHT Electra Glides  I like because its nice and low and lean.

 76214 Mustang Solo Seat
for 2008 Road Kings, FLHX Street Glides, FLTR Road Glides, & FLHT Electra Glides
-Plain/Vintage

[79426]Mustang Solo Seat
with Driver Backrest
for 2008 Road Kings, FLHX Street Glides, FLTR Road Glides, & FLHT Electra Glides
-Plain/Vintage

If anyone has or had any one of these seats please let me know.

I have the Mustang solo with driver backrest...

Ghost Rider,
 seat looks good and the back rest looks like a descent size too. Do you feel like your seating up higher w/ the seat? or lower?

Honestly, its been a year, and I don't really remember the stock seat all that well.  As far as I recall, it sits a little lower, and a little bit further forward.

thanks for the info, ghost rider
looks like a christmas present on the way.

I have the same bike as you and am interested in the solo seat. I had sent an email to Mustang to confirm the seat will fit properly on the 08 serk4 since it is not referenced on their website. The replied that they do not fit exactly right and they have no plans on making one that will. Before ordering, check with Mustang directly.

thanks for the heads up. I definitely will do that

Good luck with your choice...seats are a matter of rider preference.

Thanks to the wife yesterday about the seat issue. I have the go ahead to get a corbin. I noticed they have the same bike for display. I am heading in that direction. Riding across texas the rear needs to stay soft......

Black Diamond has a solo seat made from C & C pretty nice. However, need the heat!!

I have around 600 miles on my Corbin Dual Tour and so far, I like it and it's not completely broke in yet.  Took the wife for an hour ride and she loved the passenger pillion;said it was a huge improvement over the stock seat which caused her to start complaining after 30 minutes.

The seat is narrower than the stock seat, but provides better support.  If you order one, only get 1 backrest.  The seat moves you back a little bit, at the expense of room for your passenger.  My wife felt like she was wedged between the 2 backrests so I take mine off when we ride 2 up.

Oh, and definitely get the heat.  The wife thought is was a little unnecessary til I turned it on, now she can't stop talking about how good it is.

Thanks guys for all the info! I definitely have the green light. The problem is I have to wait for Christmas. Oh well, better waiting than not getting..

I will get the close seat, hopefully it will bring me closer rather than further.

Thanks again!

You might want to order soon.  When I ordered mine back in August, they sent me an email stating:

"Current production lead time during this, our busy season is approximately 4-5 weeks for seats and 2-3 weeks for backrests from the sales order date."

Also, they charge you when production starts, not when your seat ships.

thanks for the info that definitely is good info to have

I have used the Mustang solo seat w back rest on an 08 Street Glide and really loved it. Excellent support and very comfortable - highly recommended. I used the previous version on an an 06 Road King with similar comfort. I am a big Mustang fan and a firm believer in the benefits of the riders back rest.

Hope this helps

confidence is growing so are my bills!!!!!!
