Just received my mustang touring 2 piece via UPS today and immediately put it on the bike and took it for a 50 mile (1 hourish) ride to test it out. I'm ~180lbs, 5'6" for reference.

For me the seat was a definite improvement. I'm not going to say earth shattering since the stock seat wasn't as horrible as some other bikes I've owned. It's very plush and supports my legs/butt well and you feel like your "cupped" in it way more than the stock shape (by visual inspection you'd expect this).

My ride was mostly just straight hwy riding around 50-65mph and by the end of it my back was ready for a break more so than my butt. I don't know if other Stryker riders experience this but I tend to "slouch" down a little in my lower back when I ride and have to keep telling myself to straighten up. The constant wind-blast tends to wear me out a little on longer rides (and I don't care for windshields).

As other's have stated, this seat does move you up (maybe 1" tops) and forward (again, 1" tops imo) and being 5'6" I was able to have the front half of both feat on the ground. With the stock seat I'm just barely not able to flat foot booth feet at the same time.

I'm 5'-10" 175lbs, and have the same experience with my Mustang seat except I have no problem flat footing it. I'm also lowered an inch in the rear. I slouch too. I wonder if bringing the bars further back would help with this?

I have one piece Daytripper Mustang seat and yes I find my self "slouching" as well and to remind my self to sit up. Wind does take a toll on you after a lengthily ride. But as the riding season goes on I start to build up what I call a "Riding Tolerance" and can ride longer.

I'm 5'7, 168 lbs and have the mustang seat 3 piece. I have the PCS lowering kit and lowered the bike 2 3/4 inches. I run the stock 210 tire and with that setup I can put my feet flat at the same time very comfortably

Very Glad to hear it worked out for you Fuzzystump.

I got the 2 piece wide touring with backrest about a week ago. I've put about 200 mi on. I'm 5' 9"ish. 220. My back was bothering me with the stock seat. I bought this and have had no back issue, but my butt feels like I've been sitting on a couple thick wallets after awhile and I feel too close to the tank. I'm thinking I need a different seat.probably check out a corbin
