Aftermarket seats

I'm 6'0" 225lbs and I hated the stock seat, went numb after 20-30 minutes.  I have a Corbin Gunfighter on my '01 Magna now and I really like it.  Seemed a bit too hard at first but it breaks in pretty quick. Plus it looks great.

I had the magna a couple of months b4 I installed the gunfighter seat.  At 6'2' and 185 the stock seat was ok.  I even went 400 miles in 24 hours and never felt too bad.   At that time my gas mileage was bad (later found out it was the plugs) so I was stopping every 100 miles anyway.

I say all of that to say I love the look of the GF and the higher back is nice.  If you notice the gf scoops out, giving you maybe 6" of support.  The OEM seat is more flat, which makes sliding around a little easier.  In addition, the OEM seat tilts forward, and I was always sliding forward.

BUT . . . while the GF looks better, has better support, and is not as slick, it does have its shortcomings.  Mainly the fact that it offers very little cushion.  You feel every bump, and when you go over a speed bump, you have to stand on the pegs a bit to keep you from feeling the bump shoot through your back . . . it reminds me of my MX days.

My final conclusion is this: if you take long trips, like the sleek look of the GF, or your body already has some built in cushion, go with the GF.  If you take short trips, spend time on bumpy roads, or don't mind the grandpa look, stick with the OEM.  For looks alone I am going to keep the GF.

As for the mustang seat, I have no experience so I will defer to those who have.  Good luck, dc
