Total Bliss I purchased a solo seat for my Vulcan 800. I am 56 and most men that are about my age end up with a big tummy and no butt. Riding with the stock seat was miserable. After about 50 miles into the ride, it was monkey butt from then on. After I mounted my new Mustang solo seat, it was total bliss from then on. I now can ride all day without that monkey on my butt. Thank you so much. Alan Allen, Olympia Washington |
Locked into Comfort and Control I took my first ride today with the Mustang Studded Touring Seat. What a difference! The Vulcan 900 seat was always pushing me forward and, if I wasn't sliding forward, I was slipping from side to side. More then once I felt like I was going to slide right off the bike. Not so with the Mustang seat. I feel like I'm locked in and have more control over the bike. P.S.: I'll be ordering the Studded Tank Bib to complete that Classic look.

A Real Lifesaver I just wanted to thank you for the fine product that I purchased from you at the Myrtle Beach rally. My son and I were recently involved in an accident that we may not have walked away from without the assistance of my driver backrest. We had stopped behind a car making a left turn when we were struck from behind by another car doing about 45 mph. I only had time to brace myself before we were thrown broadside towards the car in front of us. As we struck the rear of another car my tire caught traction and we headed for the ditch. If I had not had the backrest I am sure I would have crushed my son between my 350 lb body and his sissy bar. Also if I had lost control of the grips we would have either went under or over the car in front of us instead of into the grassy ditch. I first thank God for our second chance but I feel that I must also thank Mustang as well. I must say that seat was the best money I ever spent on my ride. My son and I thank you for such a quality product. Donald Lee B., Rock Hill, SC |
Not Ready for BINGO I'm seventy years old. As is common with us "old-timers", I've been blessed with lower back problems for the past few years. As the lumbar problems progressed, my bike rides became shorter and shorter between "rest" stops. When it recently became apparent that a fifteen minute run to the Post Office was getting to be about the maximum I could withstand, it appeared that my lifelong affair with motorcycles was getting close to the end (I've been riding since I was fourteen). Rather than admitting I would probably be better off playing Bingo, I began to look into solutions to keep me on the road. I researched the alternatives and finally coughed up the necessary bucks for your "Vintage Touring Seat with Driver Backrest". It really did the trick! I'm back to thinking up excuses I can use on my wife to take off on my motorcycle (time and distance are no longer an issue--except for bladder control and refueling along the way). Your product was exactly as advertised, and I can now looked forward to a few more good years outside the local Bingo Parlor. It was worth every cent.

Keeping Iron Butts Comfy Well, son-uv-a-gun, if you weren't right after all. Your seats fit like a latex glove! And what a relief it was; guess I was a Nervous Nelly for no reason. I can hardly wait to really try it out! In the meantime, I convinced my club leader to get a set of Wide Studded Mustang seats for his wheels (also a Vulcan 1500 Classic). We have a local chapter of VROC here in Ottawa called the Ottawa Vulcans Motorcycle Club. Anyway, I really appreciate your caring assistance. Keep up the good work in keeping our iron butts comfy! Cheers! Len W., Ottawa, ON, Canada |
More than Worth the Money My Vintage Wide Touring seat arrived today and before the FedEx guy left the yard I had it bolted on my 800cc Vulcan. I tried it out on a quick 100km solo run and the results were astounding. It was a totally different riding experience. My wife and I got out for a run this evening and she gave it the thumbs up too. After half an hour she wanted to keep going where on the stock seat she'd be tapping me on the shoulder by then wanting to head home. This is a purchase that is more than worth the money. You have an outstanding product that exceeds expectation. It looks really nice, but performs even better. All my future bikes will have one of your seats for sure. Thank you for designing, manufacturing and marketing a world class product right here in North America. Neil W., Kemptville, ON, Canada |
Happy Camper in the Saddle I would love to come up there and thank each and every Mustang employee. I got my Vulcan 2000 Classic LT last summer. By November I had around 2000 miles on it and I wasn’t very happy with the bike. I would get butt burn after about 40 minutes in the saddle and that just took all the pleasure out of riding. How could Kawasaki make a bike this good and then fit it with a crappy seat? I did a lot of research and kept seeing the same thing over and over: buy a Mustang seat. Long story short, I ordered the seat, installed it the day it came in, and now am a very happy camper in the saddle. My wife has noticed that I’m not cranky after a long ride anymore. Life is good. All the people working the Mustang production lines have my sincere gratitude. Without each and every “little guy” putting their best effort into these seats, you wouldn’t have the great product that you do! Thank you so much! Tom S., Columbus, OH |
Incredible I just rode my 1600 Nomad with your new seat for the first time. It is incredible! I used to be very uncomfortable after an hour with the stock seat. I think I could have ridden all day. You guys are great and your service is awesome! Thanks again. Tony B., San Diego, CA |
The Best that Money can Buy G-day Mate! Well, you can see for yourself that my VN800 Classic looks great. The service was fast and the seat, what a difference! I just have to say that these are the best seats money can buy. Keep up the good work Mustang; I’m sure you will be hearing from a lot more Aussies in the near future.

UN-Believable! The stock seat on my Mean Streak was great (for me) or so I thought until I bolted on the Mustang Vintage Sport Touring seat. Initially, I was okay on the stock seat but, after we had ridden about ten miles, my wife said she had no plans to go very far on my new bike!! Totally bummed… After reading testimonials from avid Mustang fans (of course, I thought, no dissatisfied customers would be published), I ordered my seat. WOW, I can’t seem to park my Black Magic Mean Streak. Even when I pull up in front of the garage or stop at my buddies’, all I can think about is climbing back on my bike and riding!! Oh yea, I might ask my wife if she’d like to take a ride again. We’ve been together for 56 years now (28 each) and she’ll just have to take my word for it: MUSTANG makes the road a lot smoother! The backrest and exact dimensions of the Mustang beckon me to continue riding. Best accessory I have purchased! Scoot back and enjoy!! P.S.: My buddies can’t believe how cool my bike looks: it’s black, magic and definitely has a Mean Streak. Love my seat. Thanks Mustang!!

Light Years Ahead Prompted by my wife wanting a wider passenger seat, I ordered a Mustang seat (from my dealer) for my Vulcan 1500 Classic. At first I was hesitant to replace an original seat with only 300 miles on it but the added and unexpected surprise was how much better my rider’s seat also was. I think your Mustang seat is light years ahead for fit and comfort. I'm so glad I made the choice and shall forever "brag up your product"!! It is amusing as well as interesting that you “eastern states companies” have such great products for cycles (I recently bought some saddlebags from a Bedford, MA. company that is also a "killer" product). Dan V., Wheaton, IL |
The Best Thing A while back, my husband called me and told me to come down and pick out a helmet if I was gonna ride cause he had just bought a Vulcan 1500. We loved the bike; we rode some most days and all day every weekend--but it would take till Thursday for my back to stop hurting. So we decided to get a new seat with a wider back seat. We decided on a Mustang. I loved it right away, he wasn’t quite as sure at first, it raised him and he said it handled differently. We just (three hours ago) got home from an eight day vacation. On our way home he told me we had gone a little more than 1500 miles. My back hasn’t hurt yet, not even a little (granted we had a full dresser Kuryakyn bag for me to lean on but even without it my back doesn’t hurt). Without our Mustang Touring seat, I wouldn’t enjoy riding half as much. The seat is, by far, the best thing we have bought for the bike. We would both buy it again. Thank you. Jeff and Karen Harkins |
The Extra Mile Last week, I decided it was time to upgrade the seat on my Mean Streak. I started looking and calling around to find my new Mustang seat--easy to do since I had already decided on the one I wanted. Nobody had one and it was at least two weeks to get one. That’s when I called Mustang and spoke with your sales rep named Alex. He said "Your seat will ship out today; you should see it Monday or Tuesday." I don't know how he did it but he went the extra mile and got my seat to me. Thank you very much. Adam C., Denver, CO |
Sooo Much Better Love the seats; the ride is sooo much better now.
Bill B., Salt Lake City, UT |
Sometimes You Do Get What You Pay For I've tried alternatives to a new seat and frankly was a little leery purchasing a Mustang seat. (It's not like its $9.95.) I took a 185 mile trip to Iowa for a motorcycle rally (the main reason I bought the seat). When I got off the bike I felt like I had made a Sometimes you DO get what you pay for. Thanks. Jim G., St. John, IN |
No More Torture For the past three weeks I h ave been riding on the new Mustang seats on my 2000 Vulcan and I can not get over the comfort . The stock seats were a torture. I'll be riding out to I ndiana soon to visit my son who rides a Honda 1800 and can't wait for him to see (fine lookin') and try out my Mustang seats. Thanks for great service and awesome seats. Now, I look forward to my long road trips! Ronald J. P., Hanover , MD |
Thanks Thanks for all that you have done for us and our Nomad…
Rick and Regina K., Cairo , IL |
No More Restrictions A few years ago I purchased a set of your Regal Wide Touring seats for my 1500 Classic. I cannot praise them enough! My wife likes to ride with me but tended to shy away from longer rides. Once the Regal Wide seats went on the bike, the long ride restriction went away and we have made several enjoyable trips on the bike. I've just purchased a 1600 Classic and I'm looking forward to customizing it with a load of goodies, including a set of Mustang seats. Bob B., Torrance, CA |
Ride the Distance My butt "thanks you" from the bottom of its cheeks! Fantastic product! It's a pleasure to "ride the distance" again on my Vulcan 800. Duane H., Tullahoma, TN |
No More Shifting I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new Mustang seats for my Vulcan since the factory seat left a lot to be desired in the comfort category. I have been riding for many years and had always been hesitant to spend big bucks on a seat for my previous rides. I have over 70k miles in the last six years on motorcycles and my Vulcan gets ridden every day to work. All I can say is that I wish Mustangs seats were an option from the factory. They are fabulous. The quality, fit and comfort were better than I could have hoped for. I can ride for two hours straight and not even have to shift my butt around to stay comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful product. I will definitely be recommending Mustang seats to my riding buddies. Luke O., Lynchburg, VA |
Waiting for Comfort I had a Mustang seat on my Honda Shadow and loved every minute of my time on the road. When I upgraded to the Vulcan 1500 Classic, it came with a custom seat by that "other" company that advertises on TV how comfortable they are. Well, after about 1500 miles on that "custom" seat, I couldn't take it anymore (not to mention the issues with the postage stamp-sized passenger seat). I ordered a new Wide Touring seat through my dealer. I just got the call that the seat is in and I'm off to pick it up and install it (Merry Christmas to me!!). Now I've just got to wait for all this #%&* snow to melt so I can ride in comfort once again. Thanks for a great product. T. Mercer., Barrie, ON, Canada |
Now Our Riding is Enjoyable I am new to riding and have listened to friends talk about long rides and how great they are. My wife and I took a “long” ride a couple weeks ago -- about thirty miles -- and that was too far. We could not get comfortable no matter how hard we tried. My dealer suggested a Mustang seat and showed me one on another bike. I was so impressed that I ordered your seat that day. It's now on my 1500 Classic and we ride it everywhere. I thank you and my wife thanks you. You have made all the difference in the world to our riding. Now our riding is enjoyable. Capt. Frank F., West Palm Beach, FL Editor’s Note: Six months later, Frank wrote to us again… I wanted to tell you that we have another addition to our motorcycle family: we just purchased a Harley Dyna Wide Glide to go along with the rest of the fleet (a Electra Glide Classic, Kawasaki 1500 Classic and a scooter). The scooter is the only one that has the original seat; the rest all have Mustang seats. I let my cousin use my Electra Glide the other day (he has a Road King). That same afternoon after riding my bike he ordered a Mustang seat. I will keep promoting Mustang Seats; they are the best I have ever been on! Capt. Frank F., West Palm Beach, FL |
No Better Choice Just wanted to say thank you for your speedy service. I couldn't wait to put your seat on my Vulcan 2000. It looked great. I sat on it and what a difference compared to the stock seat! Couldn't have made a better choice. Thanks again. Gerald D., Clinton, MA |
Sharp Looking I recently purchased your studded solo seat, tank and fender bibs for my Vulcan 2000. The seat and the bibs added a real retro look to my bike. They are sharp looking!!! Your seat is extremely comfortable and I have really enjoyed it. Thank you! Herby G., Magnolia, TX |
My Butt and I Thank You First off I must say what EXCELLENT customer service you have. When I ordered my vintage touring seat and fender bib my Vulcan 1500CL thru your web site it was backordered for 3-4 weeks. I was a little disappointed but was kept fully informed of the situation and, when my seat was ready for shipping, I was notified by email as well as by phone. Thanks guys, great work. Now as for the seat, for the first hour or so on it took a little getting used to Mustang's extra support on the lower back. After that, my butt and I both thank you. Great product and well worth the wait. Scott M., Hampton, NB, Canada |
Almost Unbelievable The first day that I received my new Mustang wide touring seat I installed it on my Vulcan 800A and took off for a short ride (about 160 miles). Since then, I have put 2,460 miles on it and both my wife and I (we are both 63) cannot say enough about the quality and comfort that this fine seat provides on the long rides! Everything that I have read and heard from other riders is very true. The seating position is vastly better and, because of the way the seat is made, the bike even handles better on the twisty mountain roads around our home. The comfort is almost unbelievable and it sure dresses up my Vulcan. I sing the praises of Mustang to anyone who will sit still long enough to listen. Absolutely the very best investment that I have ever made in a motorcycle accessory, which is saying something because I have been riding for forty-five years. Thank you for the fine service, the obvious care that was put into this fine seat and your quick responses to my questions. I can't wait for the weekend so I can get out and put a couple hundred more miles sitting on it.
Edward H., Black Mountain, NC |
Looks and Feels So Much Better I would just like to send you a very big thank you. I was amazed that my seat arrived so quickly. My Vulcan 1600 Classic looks all the better for it and by butt feels so much better for it. Worth every penny. Thanks again to you all. James R., S. Yorkshire, England |
At My Age, I Want Comfort Great seeing you at the Americade Rally . Thanks for taking care of the small adjustment on my Mustang seat. I know it was the first seat you made for the Vulcan Classic 1600 (and it was delivered as promised at Americade two years ago). It's nice to know that Mustang stands behind what they make. I'm sure I will have 50,000 miles on my bike by the end of the year. Including my first Mustang seat, that makes a grand total of 120,000 plus miles of riding on the best motorcycle seat made on the planet. I wouldn't have anything else on my bike. At my age, I want comfort and that's what Mustang gives me on long rides from Maryland to Daytona or Lake George , NY . Looking forward to seeing you at the next rally ; my regards to the Mustang family. Arnie “Rice 1” H . , Annapolis , MD |
Great Product, Great Service I received a Mustang seat for my Vulcan over a year ago. I was in a motorcycle accident recently. Luckily my wife and I were okay but the bike suffered some damage and a stud was lost from my seat. I called and spoke to Matt in Customer Service who promptly sent me three replacement studs. Thank you for a great product and great customer service! You now have a loyal customer for life and I will always have a Mustang seat on any bike I purchase in the future. Vance D., Newnan, GA |
A World of Difference I ordered a Mustang seat for my Vulcan 1500 Classic on last Sunday and received it on Tuesday. Without hesitation I took the stock seat off and installed the Mustang with driver backrest! I can not express enough how comfortable and happy I am with the seat. It is a world of difference from the stock seat and other seats that I have tried. I have put approximately 500 miles on it since the Thanks to all your employees for a great product. Awesome seat--it was worth every penny! Peter S., Phillipsburg, NJ |
The First Time in 34 Years I received my catalog from you last Saturday and went to my dealer who ordered the seat I wanted. I picked my seat up this Saturday morning and put it on in just a few minutes. I spent the rest of the day riding my VN2000 pain free. I just wanted to say thanks to all of you at Mustang for such a great product. This is the first time in thirty-four years of riding that I have really been comfortable. Although I've had a few bikes in my life I would call comfortable, they didn't even come close to your seat. I love my new seat! From now on when I get a new ride my butt won't be sitting on it unless it's graced with a Mustang! Charles D., Camdenton , MO |
Making Riding a Pleasure Once Again I just received my new Mustang seat for my VN-2000 and I would just like to say "Thank You." I didn't realize how bad my stock seat was until I went for a 200 mile ride on the Mustang seat. What a difference in comfort and feel. Keep up the great work and I will be sure to pass on to everyone how great a seat this really is. Thanks for making riding a pleasure once again. Mike D., Rohnert Park ,CA |
A Touch of Class I received my studded tank and fender bibs today for my Vulcan 2000N and they definitely add a touch of class to the already impressive machine. The quality of your items (even as small as these two) reflects the pride Mustang must put in every product they sell. Next on my list is the seat with driver backrest. The wife was looking elsewhere at other (non-Mustang) accessories for her VTX1300R but has since changed her mind. Keep up the great work, Mustang, and people here in Montana will be finding out more about you. Dan W., Great Falls, MT |
"My Butt Doesn't Hurt" I purchased a seat from you around Christmas time. I just took my bike out of winter storage (even though it is snowing today). I put the seat on the bike and it looks beautiful. More importantly, my wife and I took a ride and boy were we comfortable, especially her. The passenger seat on our Vulcan 1500 Classic was "painful" to her. She can't get over the difference in this seat. My wife just kept saying "my butt doesn't hurt" the whole time we were riding. Thank you so much for making such a great product, it was worth every penny. Alan and Ann Marie J., Stony Point, NY |
Seat is First Priority Great seat and great customer service, what else can I say? Had a Mustang seat on my last bike and I got one for this 1600 Classic before I even rode it. Thanks! I love my Mustang seat.
Don D., Arlington Heights, IL |
Makes Cruising Comfortable Just wanted to tell you how happy I am with the Mustang seat on my VN2000. I have gotten to the point when I buy a new bike I order the Mustang at the same time. You make cruising comfortable. Keep up the good work! P.S.: My wife says thank you, thank you and thank you! Elbert Basham, Email |
A Christmas Gift of Comfort The seat is more than I had dreamed of; the pictures do not do it justice. It is GREAT. I know that after some of my buddies see your Studded Touring seat on my Vulcan 700, you will be hearing from them. My wife just does not know what a great Christmas gift she has given me this year. (I also plan to order some extra studs to put on the tops of my saddlebags to match my seat.) Thank you again for all your help--from a new MUSTANG fan!! |
Found the Cure Your seat cured my soreness problems. Here is a picture to show you how cool your seat looks on my Vulcan 800. Rodney Bivens, Email |
Enjoyed Every Mile I bought my Vulcan 2000 and rode twenty-five miles on it and it literally killed me! The passenger seat is even worse. I bought the Mustang Wide Studded Touring seats and drove 200 miles and enjoyed every mile! There is NOTHING better than a Mustang seat in my book.
George M., Tyngsboro, MA |
Shape and Support Make the Difference I recently purchased your Studded Wide Touring seat #75960 for my Vulcan Classic 1500. My bride and I ride two-up frequently, and I was looking for a passenger seat that would be more comfortable for her than the narrow stock seat. Boy, did I ever make the right choice! She absolutely loves her new seat. The driver's seat is also fantastic.
The additional width (compared to I installed the seat in about twenty minutes and "broke it in" on a 175- mile ride. For the first time since I bought the bike, I could have ridden many more miles that day. Mustang seats are not inexpensive but they are an excellent value when the high levels of comfort, quality, and customer service are taken into consideration. Thanks for a great product! Bob C., Leesburg, VA |
The Softest Bumps I recently bought the Mustang studded seat with driver backrest for my Nomad. It looks fantastic on the bike and the problem I was having with my butt getting numb is gone. But the value of my purchase came from my wife's comments after her first ride on our Mustang seat (keep in mind that she thought the stock seat was comfortable). She said, "those were the softest bumps I've ever felt on a bike." Great product Mustang. Jay V., Richmond Hill, GA |
Made a Convert My new Mustang seat, tank bib, and fender bib for my Mean Streak arrived today, much sooner than expected! Everything fits great and looks great too. I haven't taken a ride yet (it's ten pm here) but I can tell it will be comfortable. You just made a convert from someone who used to buy "____" seats. Thank you. Mike J., Gallup, NM |
A Comfortable “Top Kick” Here’s my scooter, nicknamed “Top Kick”. She is a little dirty, but when you ride 200-300 miles each day, it’s hard to shut down and clean it! This Vulcan 2000 has many great features, but one of the best and most important items is the seat. (I got my Mustang experience on my first Vulcan, a 1500 Classic when they first came out!) No matter what conditions or situation, I have yet to feel the slightest hint of the old dreaded B-Burn! The 2000 has an oversized fuel tank of 5.5 gallons with average MPG 38-43. After swapping out for the Mustang Touring Seat, I can easily outride a tank of gas for 224 miles non-stop! I love to talk to anyone about my beloved and cherished Vulcan 2000 and that great Mustang seat! Oh yes, I like the tank bib as well! Thanks from a lifetime customer!
Ron L. H., El Reno, OK |
What Can I Say? I had a Mustang on my Vulcan 700 so I had to get one for my Vulcan 1600. What can I say? I just love it.
Jax, Kingston, TN (VROC #8777, TNVROC #1) |
Will Never Ride without Mustang The day I picked up my new Mean Streak I ordered your seats. I'll never have another bike without Mustang seats! P.S.: At the suggestion of a friend in my riding club, I had put a Mustang seat on my previous bike, a Suzuki Marauder. Virtually everyone in the club who had replaced their stock seats had Mustangs!
Larry E. W., Durango, CO |
Comfortable Beyond Belief My wife and I were going for a ride on the stock seat on my VN2000. While driving sixty-five miles an hour down the freeway, she yelled in my ear that I had to stop because her "insides" were going to bounce out. Well, God knows we couldn't allow that to happen, so I stopped for a little rest. When I got home I jumped on the Internet and started doing some research on seats. The Mustang seat kept popping up so I thought I would try it. The difference is absolutely incredible. It is comfortable beyond belief and looks great on the bike. It is the best ride I have ever had. If you ever need a referral let me know because I am now a Mustang advocate.
David M., San Francisco, CA |
500 Mile "Spurs" Last spring I purchased a 1600 Classic and many accessories to dress it up. After riding a short time I knew the one item I overlooked was the seat. It's hard to believe that, with just a five-minute job of installing a Mustang seat, my butt is no longer any concern of discomfort. Out of all the "goodies" I have bought for this wonderful bike, the Mustang Wide Touring seat is by far the best accessory that I could imagine. Nice weather on weekends now sends me to far destinations like Indianapolis
or Duluth or Sioux Falls instead of to the neighboring town and back. "Spur
of the moment" trips are almost always the best and now my "spurs"
range out to 500 miles one way! Thanks again for building a great product and keep up the good work! John M., Fort Atkinson, WI |
Don't Miss Out on Comfort Words could not express the difference with my
new Mustang seat.

Tim S.,Tucson, AZ |
Turned Our Suffering into Joy Thank you, Mustang, for making riding possible. The price is very reasonable--considering that before we got our Mustang seat
75 miles was torture and now 200 miles is simply not a problem. It is as comfortable
as sitting in an easy chair at home. Chuck and Barbara W., Selah, WA |
Never an Issue Rode over fifteen hours on my Vulcan 800 Classic yesterday and I could have
ridden more if I wasn't getting sleepy! The seat was never an issue. The guys
riding with me on new Road Kings were really sore. Jeff Sharp, Email |
Best Service in a Long Time I can't believe the service that I have just encountered
from your company. Lowell L., San Antonio, TX |
The Most Useful Accessory Logged 8,000 miles riding the back roads and twisties between New Orleans and
Lake Tahoe this summer aboard my Nomad 1500, with my longest day of 650 miles. Skip H., Mandeville, LA |
Like Having a Hand on Each "Cheek" I own a Vulcan 1500 Classic. Because I had lost forty-eight pounds this past
year, my "tail bone" kept hitting the stock seat. Very painful even
after a short ride without that padding I had lost. Chuck C., Holliston, MA |
Double Dutch Comfort Today my new Mustang seats arrived and they are mounted directly on my VN2000. Last year I had the privilege to get Mustang seats for my VN1500 but, unfortunately, I could not enjoy them very long because I bought this new VN2000 and had to wait until you guys invented a new seat for this bike. The seats are beautiful fitting on my bike and are in sync with the saddlebags. I immediately felt the difference with the Mustang seats. My girlfriend is as happy as can be because her behind is now treated as it should be: with care!! Thanks for your great seats and service.
Peter K., Helmond, Netherlands |
Now I'm a Believer I have been riding on my Vulcan 2000 on the stock seat. I've had the bike for 500 miles and have had to stand up every chance I get to relieve the pressure on my butt. When I called, you assured me that I would love the Mustang seat or I could return it within a reasonable time. Well, you were right! I first tried the seat on a two hour ride and now I am a believer! I can't stay out of the seat! P.S.: My girlfriend also says it's a "keeper." Jonathan F., Kenner, LA |
Finally Riding in Comfort With my new Wide Touring seat on my 1500
have finally been riding in comfort.
Bill B., Ashland, OH |
Comfy Cheers from Down Under When the manufacturer is on the other side of the planet and the nearest agent in Australia is 2,500 kms to the east, one really has to develop a level of trust in the product to buy it sight unseen (especially when the exchange rate is running two to one!). That trust was well placed. The #79233 seat with rider backrest and pillion is very well designed and, most of all, is a dream to sit on all day. The Nomad and I are due to set off for the other end of Australia in two weeks, probably about 10,000 kms round trip (6,250 miles to you), so the seat will get a workout. I know one part of my anatomy is going to be really happy during this trip. It took a lot of commitment and attention to detail to get this seat from the US to outback Australia in such a short time. Congratulations on a great job to both Mustang and my dealer “Everything but the Bike” in Bundaberg. Cheers!
Ray S., Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia Editor's note: A few months later, Ray wrote again... Did that trip that my letter talked about. Turned out to be 11,000kms (6,875 miles). Two of those were 1,000+ mile days and no dead bum! Ray S., Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia |
Thanks for All his Parts Hey ya'll. I just replaced my Vulcan 1500 stock seat with the Mustang Regal seat and my butt, my back and my legs (along with my girlfriend) thank you. No longer am I tired after two hours in the saddle. You should try and get a contract with the motorcycle industry and have Mustang
seats put on all sleds. |
One Picture Says it All I just received my new seat for my Mean Streak. Thanks.
Phillippe S., Beauport, QC, Canada |
Long May You Ride (on a Mustang) I am a professional writer and I am happy to tell everyone at Mustang Seats that you have put me at a loss for words. I had the "Studded Wide Touring Seat with Driver Backrest" installed on my Vulcan 1600 Classic along with the matching tank bib and passenger backrest. Besides completing the overall look of the bike, my wife and I can ride 200+ miles in one day and not be sore when we stop at the end of the day. Long may you ride (on a Mustang saddle).
Rob D., North Aurora, IL |
The Factory Seat Had to Go I then purchased a Nomad. After the first 100 mile trip I told my wife the factory seat had to go. Bought a new Mustang seat and the ride is great. Thanks for making a terrific seat.
Stacy S., Wells, TX |
Actual Customer Service I want to thank your rep Ike for his help with answering all of my emailed questions. I will call and order the seat right now. Many companies have Customer Service Departments; it is a real pleasure to deal with ones that actually have customer service. You have been helpful and very responsive to our needs and it has been a pleasure working with you on a new seat for Kerry's Vulcan 800B Classic. I will be sure to tell all my fellow riders how easy Mustang has made this for us. Ken K., Tucson, AZ |
Honest Advertising Recently, I had emailed you with questions about seats for my Vulcan 1500 Classic; I then bought a Mustang seat from Millennium Kawasaki here in Georgia. All your advertising appears to be true. The seat installed in minutes and looks great! It should prevent the sore tailbone I was getting from the stock seat. My wife is really pleased with it as the extra 4” of width makes her ride a lot more comfortable. I will certainly recommend your products to anyone in this area who asks about the great looking seat on my bike! Wayde B., NB, Canada |
Maybe My Wife was Right… We bought a Vulcan 1500 Classic last winter. We put 1300 miles on it during Bike Week, riding from Daytona to Key West and back to Daytona. All the while I was telling my wife that the stock seat " will break itself in. " After 7000 miles (my wife says I am a little slow) I realized that there was no breaking in of that seat. We bought your wide studded touring seat and, after the first tank of gas, I knew that maybe my wife was right! I went back to our Kawasaki dealer in Columbus, Indiana, and told him that no bike should leave there without a Mustang seat on it. Thanks!

Great Product and Superb Service I recently received my new Studded Solo seat with driver backrest for my 1600. My bike looks great and the seat feels wonderful. I especially want to thank your Customer Service rep Rebecca. She was very courteous, answered all my questions and let me know the status of my order. Thanks for a great product and superb customer service. Doug G., Puyallup, WA |
Repeat Customers I am 46 years old and bought my first and second motorcycles last year! After trying out a 650 Yamaha, I moved up to an 800 Vulcan Classic. I love this bike and was on it every chance I got. Early this year I had a total hip replacement for an arthritic condition. Knowing I would need something comfy, I bought a Mustang seat. As a result, I have still logged over 5,000 miles this year and my wife would not be without it! When we were trying out our next
bike (with a pretty decent stock seat) my wife tapped me on the shoulder
after about one mile and said “You have
to get me off this seat.” I thought selling my wife on another seat
would be difficult, but she is insistent and wants it here before the bike
gets here.

Easy On The Butt My Dad just put one of your Wide Studded two-piece seats on his Vulcan 800 Classic. He loves the way it sits and is easy on the butt. Wished he would have changed the seat a long time ago. A very satisfied customer. Billy J. C., Herber Springs, AR |
A Winning Combination I was tired of getting "numb butt" after only about thirty miles on my Vulcan 800 Classic so I purchased your two-piece Wide Studded Touring seat with driver backrest and sissy bar pad. The installation was VERY EASY and I was out and enjoying a ride within thirty minutes of the UPS man pulling away. It is great!! No more "numb butt" for me. Thank you, Mustang. You sell a high quality product with easy install--a winning combination. Chris M., Coventry, RI |

She Wants to Go Farther! I had a Mustang seat on my last bike and I really enjoyed the comfort it provided. It wasn't "just fine" at
all for my wife who rides on the back. She experienced tailbone pain, rear
end pain, hot spots, cramps, etc. So, I
decided it was once again time to check out Mustang seats. As far as the driving seat, well, it's better than I expected. I don't have the hot spots I had with the factory seat and I have a lot less fatigue on my rear. I like the look of the Wide Regal also. Looks classy. Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy your seat. Dave D., Hemet, CA |
Lives Up to the Advertising Claims Just purchased and installed your Wide Vintage Touring seat on my Nomad one week prior to a 2600 mile trip through New England and New Brunswick. The seat is well engineered, resulting in very easy installation and great looks!! I put in up to ten hours a day for eight days straight in complete comfort--which at age 56 is not always easy to do. Unlike some others I've owned, the Mustang seat did not require any break-in and it truly provided all-day comfort. This seat easily ranks as the best single upgrade I have made to my Nomad! Keep up the good work providing high quality products that live up to all the advertising claims. Gary C., Buffalo, NY |
We Used to Avoid Long Rides A month after putting a Mustang Wide Regal Seat on my Vulcan 800 Classic, I can't sing its praises loud enough. What an improvement over the stock seat! My wife and I used to avoid long rides because of the literal "pain in the rear." Now we ride hundreds of miles with no discomfort. Kudos to the folks at Mustang for a well built seat! Mike H., Bluefield, VA |
Scoot Lifesaver Hey guys, here's a pic of my Vulcan 800 Classic with one of your Wide Studded seats with conchos. I just love how the bike feels with this new seat plus the comfort level I have achieved on it now over the stock seat. What a lifesaver for us guys on the scoots!
Denny V., Grand Rapids, MI |
Looks and Feels Great We received our Mustang Studded Wide Touring seat with fringe a few months ago. Once it was installed, we were instantly amazed at how much better our Nomad looked. My wife and I recently got back from a 24-day/10,608-kilometer trip to the Canadian east coast. We can happily report that not only does the Mustang seat LOOK great, it FEELS great as well. Thanks for a wonderful seat. Don G., Winnipeg, MB, Canada (VROC 8505) |
Canadian Comfort I just had to email you and tell you about my experience riding on my new Mustang seat! On my first lengthy trek with my stock Vulcan Classic 1500 seat, I had travelled only 200 kilometers of an eight-hour trip when I started second guessing my decision to continue. Upon arriving at my destination, I started to think about shipping the bike back and taking the bus home. I didn't. I suffered the ride home, conceding that I would only be able to be a local day tripper. That's when I decided to research aftermarket seats. Your Mustang seat became my choice and man, can I do an advertisement for you. Aboard my new seat, I have just completed a Canadian East Coast trip that would make any rider drool with envy. My darling bride gave me the OK to head out, alone, to do the entire coastline of beautiful Nova Scotia, the Bay of Fundy, the infamous Cabot Trail and Prince Edward Island. I had logged in from Ottawa to the East Coast and back (a total of 6,736 kilometers) and the best part of the story is that I left Prince Edward Island and rode straight home in one ride. This ride was 1,343 kilometers and took me 14.75 hours! When I arrived home, I was beat. Yet, I could have gone out for another spin! Your Mustang seat has been the biggest part of my trip's storytelling, such as "Have you ever kissed a Mustang? It'll sure kiss you! No sore butt's about it." My personal favorite is that "Mustang can kiss my ass any day of the week!" The only problem with your seat is that now I'm planning my West Coast trip (right after I speak with my divorce lawyer). Just kidding--but I am seriously trying to convince the bride about the West Coast trip! She hoped that the East Coast would get it out of my system but Mustang just put it back in! Greaaaaat seat guys!! Thanks a million! Jim L., Ottawa, ON, Canada |
Kudos The new seat for my Vulcan arrived Tuesday morning and I had it installed within fifteen minutes. What a difference from the stock seat. It has to be the most comfortable seat I have experienced in twenty years of riding. Kudos to Mustang for making such a great product. It certainly makes riding all the more pleasurable. Thanks again from a very happy Vulcan rider. Dan D., Highgate Center, VT Editor's note: A few months later, Daniel wrote again... I have put many miles on the bike since putting the new seat on a few months ago and every one has been as comfortable as the first one. (I think somewhere in the vicinity of 4500 miles!) I can't think of anything that I would improve upon the seat or the service you provide. Thanks again!! Dan D., Highgate Center, VT |
Comfortable and Happy Frau The stock seat of the Mean Streak is very good looking and fits the design properly but it is very uncomfortable for the passenger. So my wife wanted me to order a custom seat because of her back pain. At first I would not destruck the Mean Streak design, but I chose the compromise in form of the Mustang Vintage Sport Touring Seat. The possibility to ride the bike with a comfortable passenger seat or with just the solo seat only is a big advantage of the Mustang seat and it is a plus for the comfort of the driver, too. Thank you, Team Mustang
Dietmar K. K., Ostfildern, Germany |
Safe, Sound and Fast I just thought I'd let you know the seat for my Mean Streak has arrived "down under" safe, sound and fast. I nearly fell over when the Postie dropped a notice in the box to go and pick it up! The process was really easy: customs labeled the package and it arrived with a GST (goods and service tax) notice attached; I paid the bill (10%) and went home. The seat is already on my bike--only eight days after placing the order. Thank you very much, Team Mustang. Rob F., Labrador, Australia Editor’s note: Two and a half months later, Rob updated us with some photos…….. I just got some photos back from the lab. One of the bike and one with me--proudly wearing my Mustang shirt. I have a few thousand k's (miles) on the seat now and it is easily the best money I have spent on the bike. I can ride till she runs out of juice and not have to worry about a sore rear end. I love it. The solo look is great around town, but the extra support given by the passenger seat/backrest is amazing on a long ride. I ride with a group and when they all get off for a leg stretch I am just as happy to stay seated on my bike. If anyone in Australia is considering importing a Mustang seat, I would recommend doing it. I paid less for this awesome seat than I was quoted locally for the similar factory seat. And the GST was all too easy; I just paid at the post office when I picked it up. Thanks again.
Rob F., Labrador, Australia |
Made Riding Much More Enjoyable Thank you Mustang!! I just got the chance to try my new solo seat for my 800 Vulcan (it's been raining forever here. It made riding just that much more enjoyable. It looks excellent and was very easy to install. I will refer you to anyone I see still riding on a stock seat (poor suckers). Thanks again for a great product! Ed C., West Deptford, NJ |
Sold on Mustang Seats Just wanted to let you know how comfortable my Mustang seat is. I rode straight down to Charlotte,
North Carolina, from Bedford, New Hampshire, leaving early Friday morning Needless to say, I was as comfortable riding my 1500 Classic all the way as I am when I take my car. I'm sold on Mustang seats. Roland L., Bedford, NH |
Unsurpassed Quality The Wide Regal seat on my Vulcan is absolutely incredible! The craftsmanship, support and comfort are unsurpassed. It makes the stock seat seem like a piece of cardboard. Thanks for a terrific product! Sal A., Trenton, NJ |
A Lot More Comfortable This Vintage Touring seat is great!! The seat and the tank bib really changed the look of my Mean Streak. It's a lot more comfortable and provides a large, soft platform for my girlfriend to sit on as well. Thanks for making a great seat.
David B., Ecletic, AL |
Just Had To Say Thank You I would like to thank you for a great seat on my Vulcan 1500 Classic. I put 5900 miles on it this year and I just had to say thank you. Ed R., Woonsocket, RI |
Best Advice Buy Mustang! I just started riding this past spring and the best advice everyone gave me was to buy a Mustang seat. For once I listened and Im glad I did! I have put over 10,000 miles on my Vulcan and my tush thanks me everyday for buying the Wide Vintage Touring seat. My husband, Billy, also has a Mustang on his H-D Dyna Low Rider. Thanks for making such a great product!

Know a Good Marriage Counselor? Something had to be done. In only fifty miles, the original "pin cushion" that came with my 1500 Vulcan Classic caused considerable discomfort on this 6'2", 300-pound, big boy. A friend suggested that I remove the passenger seat; I tried that and I found that I could get upwards to eighty miles before my tailbone had to be replaced. I couldn't wait to try out the Mustang seat; I had heard good news about it. My Mustang Wide Studded seat arrived in just one day, as promised. I had it installed in about fifteen minutes (even replaced the battery while I was at it). It looks great and matches the leather saddlebags nicely. The next morning I thought that I would take it around the block to see how it feels. I left our home in suburban Los Angeles and took to some curves. Not bad--so I tried the freeway. I ended up in Idyllwild in the San Jacinto Mountains above Palm Springs. Six hours and 245 miles later, I returned home to find my wife worried and upset--holding my forgotten pager. My wife is very unhappy with your seat; do you know a good marriage counselor? Thank you for a great product. Richard L., La Habra Heights, CA |
Now I Can Hardly Keep Her Off The Bike... I have received your Regal Seat and I would just like to say that, after installing it on my Vulcan 800, I feel like I could ride all day and night without any problem or pain like I had with the stock seat. It has to be the MOST comfortable seat in the industry. Also, my wife loves to ride now. Before, she would not ride because the passenger seat was so uncomfortable. Now, I can hardly keep her off the bike! Thank you for making this wonderful seat. Jim C., Glendale, AZ |
Installed Quickly, Easily and Fit Perfectly Thank you. This is the first accessory that I have purchased for my Vulcan 1500A that installed quickly, easily and fit perfectly. It looks great on the bike and the weather in Seattle this weekend will be ideal to try it out. Your time and effort has paid off with an exceptional product. Roger R., Seattle, WA |
An Amazing Difference Your return policy convinced me to "bite the bullet" and purchase a Wide Regal seat for my Vulcan. Within one week of receiving my new seat, I had completed a five-day road trip of over 1,400 miles--without the usual pain in the rear that I had become accustomed to. Your seat makes such an amazing difference. Thanks a bunch! Robert M. W., Pelham, AL |
A Whole Tank of Gas After the first 100 miles on my stock seat, I searched the web and consulted friends about something better for my Vulcan. When I saw your Wide Studded seat, I just had to try it and I have yet to regret my purchase--even after sitting on it for 1500 miles. The fit and finish are first rate and my butt can easily last through a whole tank of gas. Thanks for making a great seat! Greg B., Georgetown, SC |
Increased Enjoyment I wanted to first complement you on the quality on my new seat. I decided on a Wide Studded three-piece for my Vulcan 800A, mainly because most of the other 800A’s out there have a Wide Regal and I wanted a slightly different look, and I got it! I purchased it at Cycle King in Warwick, RI, and they were extremely helpful with making my choice. The driver backrest is exceedingly important and, as I have back problems from a severe auto accident, I am sure it will become the source of increased enjoyment of my bike. Thanks again, you are a class outfit.

Comfort…Plus "Wind-Stabilizing" Tassels! I got my new seat for my 800 Vulcan Classic today. With the stock seat, I could only ride for thirty miles before having to get off and let my rear end have some relief. As soon as I did the five minute installation on the new Mustang seat, I rode for sixty miles and my backside felt fine. I absolutely love the new seat. Plus, the bike even seemed to handle better. (I think those little leather tassels act sort of like some type of wind stabilizers or something...) Thanks for the superb product! Ron B., Wichita Falls, TX |
Knew After the First Twenty Miles I received my new Mustang Wide Regal seat yesterday for my Vulcan 1500 Classic and rushed to put it on. After the first twenty miles, I knew I had made a good decision. Your seat is great looking and exceptionally comfortable; thanks for a great product. By the way, please tell the lady at your info hotline that soaping the bumpers works great! Dave H., Peoria, IL |
Totally Changed My Bike Just a quick note to tell you how happy I am with my new Vintage seat for my Mean Streak. The seat totally changed the look, feel, and performance of my bike. Keep up the great work. Scott S., Wahiawa, HI |
Refreshing Pleasant Demeanor Thank you very much for your help this morning taking time to answer my questions and handling my order for a studded seat with driver backrest for my Mean Streak. Your pleasant demeanor is refreshing compared to what you get from many customer service representatives at other companies these days. You folks at Mustang do things right. Bill C., Orange Park, FL |
Prompt and Courteous I own a Vulcan Classic 1500. I have not one, but two Mustang seats--one is the Wide Studded, the other a Wide Regal. I have to say I don't think I have been more impressed with any company that I have ever done business with! No matter what your business is, all people really want is a good product, a fair price and good service. I wish that more companies understood the logic behind this. Most say--"I already have his money, so screw him". Thank you for your prompt and courteous service. I will go tell all of my friends at the Shadow Riders Forum and the Kawasaki Vulcan Forum at Delphi. Guess I'll just have to keep buying Mustang products. (BTW, I just ordered a Mustang Fender Bib for my Vulcan.) Kelly C., Elbow Lake, MN |
Like Going Around the Block Thanks for the great product! I know you probably hear this a lot but the Wide Studded for my Vulcan 1500 Classic is so comfortable as well as good looking, I even purchased the matching sissy bar pad. Only a couple things more and I will be ready for the ride to Sturgis from Connecticut--a mere 1,850 miles and all of them will be like going around the block. Thanks again.
Patrick C., Pawcatuck, CT |
No More "Brain Damage" Just wanted to thank you for all you did installing the new seat on my Nomad at the Americade Rally. On the way down from Ontario, the stock seat gave us "brain damage". The ride home was much nicer. Gord P., Guelph, ON, Canada |
Professional, Friendly, Pleasant I recently purchased a seat for my Vulcan Nomad. I want to complement both Sue and Rae in your Customer Service department. They were very courteous and helpful. I own three motorcycles and I have purchased seats from two of your major competitors. Since I have not yet ridden a mile on my Mustang seat, I cannot yet say if yours is better. I can say, however, that both of the other companies left a lot to be desired when it came to customer service. This is why I want to complement Sue and Rae. Thank you, Sue! Thank you, Rae! Thank you for doing your job in a professional, friendly and pleasant manner! When the cold and snow leave (it is 4 degrees above zero, snowing with a 30 mph wind), I will ride the Mustang for a couple hundred miles and let you know what I think. If the seat is anything like the customer service, it should please me. Thanks. Charles K., Wheatland, WY |
Poetry in Motion I love my new Mustang seat for my Vulcan 800 so much I want to write a poem about it. (Maybe someday I will.) WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! Thanks! Vulcan Gal (Erna), E-mail |
Took Every Back Road I just want to say thank you for making the most comfortable seat that I have ever had on any motorcycle that I have owned. I recently purchased one of your seats for my Vulcan. It arrived three days before my better half and I were leaving for Daytona and I can’t begin to tell you how much nicer and how much more enjoyable the ride there was. It’s only 150 miles over to Daytona from where we live. We have made the trip many times on the old original seat (when we couldn’t wait to get there and get off the bike) but not this time because we were not saddle sore. We even took every back road that we could find which made the trip (mileage-wise) a lot longer. I won’t ever own another bike that doesn’t have a Mustang seat on it. Thanks for a superior product. Also want to send my thanks to Sue in the Customer Service department for all of her help and friendly attitude. Keep the shiny side up. Charles B., Tampa, FL |
Short But Sweet I purchased your Vulcan seat last year for my bike and I just wanted to tell you that it has been the best seat I have ever purchased. Frank M., Florissant, MO |
A Positive Attitude I thought that you might like to hear about someone who is representing you in the best tradition of professionalism and customer care. I have been dealing with your company for about a year and a half now; my most recent purchase was a pad for my Fire and Steel backrest. I wanted to make you aware of my experience with one of your employees Lea, with whom I have had the opportunity to work with on several occasions. Lea has handled herself in the most professional manner and delivered the highest level of customer service. Further, she has a "can do" approach to every situation and a positive attitude that makes me want to refer everyone to your company who might be considering any product that you have to offer. Neal L., Atlanta, GA |
No Pain at All I just put a Wide Vintage seat on my Vulcan 800. Just want to say that this is the finest seat I have ever sat on. I took a 200 mile trip today and wow! I had no pain at all. Job well done! Thanks, Mustang, for a fine seat. John D., Dothan, AL |
Triplet Seats Just wanted you to know that your seats are great. I ride a Vulcan 800 and have three of your seats: a Wide Studded, Wide Studded Solo and a Fastback. As you can see, I have done a lot of customizing to my scoot and your seats are one of my investments
Ron M., Universal City, TX |
Both Riding Comfortably !!!WOW!!! I am amazed by your company's attention to the customer's needs. Be assured that I will be passing this on to everyone who rides in Winnipeg, everyone who doesn't already know it at VROC (Vulcan Riders and Owners Club--we all love your seats!) and anyone else I can think of! My wife's 800 has your model #75940 (two-piece with studs) and my 1500 has model #75960 (two-piece wide studded). We are both riding comfortably thanks to Mustang. Glenn S., Winnipeg, MB, Canada |
A Whole Different Bike Now My wife and I were on a long ride on our 800 Vulcan Classic when we headed up Mt.Washington. We were so happy to get off the bike when we got to the top! Our "asses" were very sore and my back ached. Since my wife purchased your Wide Vintage seat the week after that, we've been on rides without any soreness. What a difference. The bike is a whole different bike now. It looks and feels super--nice work. Thank you!
