So i have read multiple threads regarding seats for the stryker, but unfortunately I have yet to find any consistent info. I had a saddlemen on my last bike and loved it. But there is no option from saddlemen for our bike yet. I am looking for input from anyone who has purchased the yamaha seat for 2 up riding. I do not like mustang seats, but if someone has purchased a seat for 2up riding and likes it please post the info and your impressions. Thank you

Part unlimited predator 2 up is nice and doesn't push you forward, my wife says the ass pad is much better than the stock seat

Mustang I have pushes you forward. Comfortable but I'm 6'3 so I don't like that.

backrest?

by chance do you use a backrest with the seat? If so, does it fit well?

I will be ordering one but haven't rode with one yet.

While researching seats yesterday, i found an odd similarity. A lot of saddlemen seats start with part number 0810, whats strange is that parts unlimited is the same way, the both end with a four diget part number as well

Parts Unlimited doesn't make seats. Just sells someone else under a different name. Probably at a better price too.

I realize they dont make them. Wonder if saddlemen makes them for parts unlimited. Being the prefix numbers are mostly the same and the part number layout is the same

My guess "yes". Honda Direct Line does the same thing. Sells parts at a better price and uses their part no. from manufacture also.

Update:
Mustang vintage wide touring seat.

Went for a 5 hour ride yesterday (break in the middle for a couple hours).

After about an hour of riding with this seat my hips started hurting pretty bad. This did not happen with the stock seat on long trips. The stock seat would make my lower back hurt after riding for a couple of hours.
Because the Mustang seat changed my seating position and I am so tall, I think the only way to correct this is to change my leg position by either getting extended controls or freeway bars and pegs. The Mustang seat pushed me forward 1"-1 1/2" and my legs are long so I think that will be the only solution.

The Parts Unlimited seats are made by Drag Specialities:nod:
