Owners Of New Mustang Seat

Mustang is now selling a two-piece seat for the R3T. If you have one on your R3T please give your opinions of it to me. I already have a Mustang seat on my other bike and I like it. The stock R3T seat is, for me, too sloped in the ****** area and it pushes me too far forward. I need a lot more room. Thanks.

a seat that push to far forward could cause swelling of one's gonads creating the duck's walk when dismounting

Yeah I actually feel the front of the stock seat is a bit too high for my tastes, the crown jewels tend to get just a little bit too squished. Getting an inch further back, as the Mustang seat says you will, sounds great, I'm also contemplating a purchase. Plus that running it solo without the detachable pillion seat would look great, currently still have the normal two up seat which isn't exactly a marvel of beauty.

The best price I've found for the new R3T Mustang seat is $430 at Sargent Cycle in Jacksonville. They only charged me $20 for shipping (I live in Florida). They tell me they know the seat will be used and will accept returns if it is not ripped or badly scratched--but confirm that for yourself.

Ive dealt with Sargents for some small items. Good people to deal with.

Good to know, thanks! I contacted Mustang directly and the European supplier as well. Both will cost over 600 euros delivered here and with customs and taxes paid, but the US price was actually a tad lower... and probably would get delivered a lot faster. So roughly a 50% Living-in-Europe-surcharge, as usual, about $680 on the bike.

I doubt Sargent could shave much off that, but lets see; $430, assuming $80 for shipping with USPS for a bulky product, then add customs and taxes to the tune of 24% at the border = $630. So I might save $50, which I suppose is worthwhile just for ordering from Sargent instead. I might get lucky and shipping would be even lower too, $80 might be pessimistic.
