I've got a 2002 1800R illusion blue (the fastest color)
anyway it has the mustang seat on it
my question is... is there a seat out there that will make my X feel as smooth as my wing?
my 1993 gl1500 has a corbin on it but she got totalled last weekend by a (wouldnt you know it)Harley electra glide.
so I figured if I could find the comfort of the wing on my X then momma wont be so mad about the wreak

If you already like Corbins they make seats for the VTX too.

What bear said. There are many options if you don't like the Mustang; Ultimate, Corbin, Hartco, etc. Do some surfing and see what you like.

Or you could go with the resident experts Robert Doerr (may have spelled that wrong) or Alan at Mean City Cycles. I'm not one to tell people to do a search but there have been several questions and answers about seats and a couple of write ups of comparisons between the Mustang and the Ultimate. Good luck with your choice/search.

What they all said, and I'm just curious, if you don't mind sharing the story, about how your wing got totaled by an HD. Good luck on your seat search. Mine were modded by Robert Doerr and wife and I love them.

Seats

Well I have the Ultimate X on my 1300 and it is ok but I have the Corbin solo seat on my 1800 which I like much better. But the bottom line is what do you like best.

The bottom line is, what does you butt like the best???
Try a bike nite somewhere and see if someone will let you try their seat to see which you like better. :hmm2:

My butt likes the Ultimate X better than modified seats and the mustang seat.

I have a Robert Doerr modified seat, better than stock, but hopefully moving up to an Ulimate.

since you asked ... we (my brothers and I .three bikes) went to south alabama for 50th wedding anniversery party for a cousin. 7 hours in the saddle 340 miles a little rain not much beautiful ride left the party in samson and rode up to enterprise(about 30 miles away)to spend the night at another cousins and right as I turned into her driveway...screech pow bang!!! my little brother on his 2005 harley t-boned me.
my baby dug to gouges into the asphalt for 18 feet(actual measurement) he and his bike landed on top of me and my wing.
destroyed my right saddlebag,damaged the trunk,left saddle,chrome guards left mirror fairing sheared of right foot peg and broke the left not to mention the other little pieces.
we both ,thank god, walked away with minor bruising but the insurance put his damages at 3500 so they'll fix his but my dages are over 7500 and since my gl1500 is a 93 with 171,000 on her they say she's only worth 9100 (surprised me) they want to total her(all over a bunch of plastic) we're still in talks over this I dont want her totalled but they say their hands are tied by the laws in sc. I cant understand how a wreak that was not any of my fault could cost me my ride
