I also have the same seat with 17,000 miles on it, still feels great.
Everything setup.
The seat seems comfortable and I'm sure it will get better with use. I had a Mustang seat on my Iron 883 and have one now on my Softail.
I had to raise the back of the gas tank a little to get the seat to fit with the Captain Itch crotch cooler. I might look into improving the passenger backrest and armrest in the future.

I have had Mustang seats on several Harleys and always happy with them. Have one on my Freewheeler now with 40,000 miles on it and still very comfortable.

Does this Mustang seat sit the rider lower ? What model is this Mustang seat ? I am looking for a seat that does set me lower and a little further back !
I have that seat. Be aware that Mustang makes two versions of that (or did) One is a standard leg version and the other pushes you forward. If you need to go further back than stock this seat my not be for you.I can't tell the height difference from stock. Never put my feet down.Originally Posted by Engraveron

She hurt her shoulder. Once that's better she's going to test it.
I rode it yesterday to get inspected and a three hole oil change and it feels good.

I’m sorry to hear about your wife. Hoping she will get better soon, so she can enjoy the ride! In the mean time, you better keep riding, just to make sure it’s perfect for her.She hurt her shoulder. Once that's better she's going to test it.

Kim and I took the Freewheeler for an after work picnic tonight. It was the first time she tried the new seat. We took turns as rider/passenger. She really likes the seat.

When I first got my FW money was tight. I sent my seat out to C&C for reworking. That was a couple years ago. And while I have been happy with it so far I have been thinking of just getting a different seat.
The first thing that catches my eye on your pics is that the Mustang is wider for the backside, which I like. I can switch over my backrest for even more support. Now that will be on my mind for the next few months.
I got the same seat for my RG3 and I love it. But there is a slight gap between the tank and the tip of the seat and I have tried pushing it forward as much as I can. I am wondering if others are also getting that gap and if anyone has any idea of how to close the gap? Thanks.New Mustang seat for the Freewheeler next to the stock seat.

Common problem changing seat brands, give it time to settle in
It took me a ride home from Sturgis to break in a Mustang seat

Most people are using Harley-Davidson tank Bra on the RG3 to cover the gap
Thanks. I’ve heard the tank bra can damage the paint, so was just looking for other optionsMost people are using Harley-Davidson tank Bra on the RG3 to cover the gap
I haven't personally seen anything out there that people are using on their RG3 with a mustang seat
IMO a bra is more show and can scuff your paint
I gave my FLRT a coat of ceramic paint sealant, it has held ip better than any wax I have used
Try this and just ride that trike
