Need some personal experience info..

1. Dose the seat set you more forward or more back
compared to stock.

2. Dose the seat set you any higher or any lower than
stock.

3. What is the break in time, in miles.

Thanks

No, not in my opinion

stock.

About the same

3. What is the break in time, in miles.

Maybe 50...?

Traveled about 2600 miles total to the Eastern Rally on my new Mustang seat and never any butt pain. everyone is different, but it worked for me..

Joe,

How tall are you? I've heard for tall people it feels like you are moved forward about an inch.

Mustang seats

When I installed my mustang seat (on the 1600) I did feel as though it moved me forward, but that could just be from how I have the backrest adjusted.I had been thinking of getting a set of risers, now I dont need them. It did sit a little lower, and it was comfortable from the get-go IMHO. I have been riding the mustang for 2 1/2 years now.

A little higher

If I had to guess, about 1500 miles



Honestly, I wish I had gotten the Corbin. The seat is too far forward for a big person.
