Oh good. I'm not the only one that feels that way. That thing is a brick and a killer.

I'm going to try this deal in the off season (when it gets over 110 degrees) and I can give up my seat for a week or so.

Great day to ride

Also agree with the highway bar chaps thing.

Yes I have looked at a couple of forums for a deal on a mustang but no luck so far. Chrome is nice but I think a seat needs to be my next investment.

Dave, check with Dennis Kirk on the Mustang seat. That's where I got mine last year. I used to use a Air Hawk before the Mustang and on long rides I will still use the Air Hawk as well. There was an Air Hawk for sale in my neck of the woods a few days a go for I think it was $50. I will see if it is still on here if you are interested.

Don't see the Air Hawk any more....they don't last long when people try to sell them.

A Mustang seat was the first change I made to my Nomad. Riding a motorcycle shouldn't be a painful, unpleasant experience.

Well the truth is she only rode around town with me. She drove her truck up there so she could shop while I rode through other states. She never left Memphis. She will ride anywhere for about 45 minutes, then it is over!
