Point made Greg, sorry I didn't know that. Sure makes sense, as the 09 Tour Bikes have a redesigned frame. Thanks for the "heads up". I modified that mistake, in the prior post.

I will contact Rae at Mustang Seats, seems she mentioned new numbers for the 09 Road Glide Mustang Tour seat currently available; and, I hope that is what she is sending me, for a fit test.

At this point, not sure....

I will find out and repost....

Thanks Rob... Keep me posted, My first choice would be a Corbin...Until then...

The new Mustang Touring Saddle came today. I mounted it on the SERG this eve and it fit perfectly, molds to the contour of the rear fender as it should. Very comfortable; however, it does set me up an inch or two higher than stock and a bit more forward. It allows me to sit up straighter which helps out the lower back a bunch. A lower lumbar support is molded into the seat. So far, I like it!

i had a local upholsterer re-do my seat. he used a denser foam. lots better than stock.$50.  along with adjusting my backrest with a BFH it seems alright. :2vrolijk_21:

i still require heat to keep my nuts toasty. :coolblue: wating on one.

 like the looks of that mustang.

Check out www.lepera.com  If anyone lives in the LA area, and brings their bike, they will give you $400 towards a seat.  They have the gel saddles too.

Is there a "break in" period for the Mustang Tour Seats? It's nice now, just wonder if it will keep getting better. That was the way with the Corbin seats I have had in the past.

The riding is 50% of why I moved to the area, the other 50% was to live on the lake.

TVA would be a nice job for me, I have worked power generation and distribution much of my life.

I have had the Mustang Saddle in rework for some time now. I am happy with the progress that has been made thus far. As you might know, I could not tolerate the original SERG saddle. It's a personal thing, but... it was a lower back issue for me.

I bought and received the Mustang Tour seat pictured earlier in this thread. It was comfy but positioned me too high and too far forward. I elected to modify this seat and have it disassembled in order to work the foam lower and further back. It has taken some time, but the results from Al's Custom Uplostry in Amarillo Texas, are very nice.

My cover of choice (although $) is black elephant.

Attached is the results of the modified Mustang Tour seat with the new cover, front half. The elephant hide is thicker than most upholstery folks are accustomed to... or, want to mess with, the labor is much more intensive.

Although the pic does not do this saddle justice, as it is incomplete; it will give you some idea of what I've been after...   ::)

I'm thinking this should look good on the Silver SERG ..
