Shopping
Most Mustang seats are designed to install just like your
stock seat--using the same mounting points and hardware as your original seat.
It usually takes about fifteen minutes to remove the stock seat and install
your new Mustang seat.

What is the return policy?
If you buy a Mustang seat from your local dealer or other supplier, the return policy is strictly between you and your dealer or supplier. Mustang has no control over the return policies of other businesses, dealers, or distributors, so please be sure to ask your supplier about all the details of their return policy before you make a purchase. Some dealers may not allow returns at all or they may charge a significant restocking fee and/or handling fees. Your dealer may have purchased Mustang products from a distributor (rather than directly from Mustang); the distributor may not accept returned items.

Seat Fitment
All questions regarding your shopping experience on the store and the payment process.
Are Mustang solo seats with built-in driver backrests compatible with a stock passenger seat?
No. The overlap of the passenger seat is not complementary with the backrest post and receptacle. However, Mustang does manufacture a recessed passenger seat specifically for this purpose. (The recessed pad is designed with the necessary clearance to avoid any interference with the driver backrest shaft or adjustment knob.)
Do Mustang seats put the driver at the same height as the stock seat?
Mustang seats usually put the driver at the same height as the stock seat did when it was new. However, the foam (cushion) that we use is a higher quality, much firmer foam than the stock seat. Depending on the age of your stock seat and how much the foam has deteriorated, you may sit about .5” to 1” higher.
Will Mustang sissy bar pads fit on stock sissy bars?
Yes, with very rare exception, Mustang sissy bar pads will fit on standard size stock sissy bar systems.
Seat features
All questions regarding your shopping experience on the store and the payment process.
Can a driver backrest be added later to a seat?
No. The receptacle that houses the receiver mechanism for the driver backrest is built into the seat baseplate. It is carefully engineered for utmost strength for driver safety. This receiver cannot be added to an existing Mustang seat.
Are Mustang solo seats with driver backrests compatible with stock passenger seats?
No. Mustang solo seats with driver backrests are not compatible with most stock passenger seats because the passenger seat would overlap with the backrest post and receptacle. Mustang manufactures a passenger seat that is specifically designed to be recessed to avoid any interference from the driver backrest.
I want the full support that Mustang’s backrest offers but I'm really tall with long arms. Will I have ample room?
Most riders are satisfied with the standard backrest post, but those who need more room from the handlebars can opt for an “offset post” that will set the backrest back slightly.
Mustang's Offset Driver Backrest Post (#75099) is available for riders looking to move back away from their handlebars and gas tank. This post replaces the standard driver backrest post in all Mustang solo seats that have the built-in driver backrest unit. It has all the features of our standard driver backrest but allows the driver to lean back 2" further. Offset posts can be used with most Mustang solos with the driver backrest slot. It can also be used with most of Mustang's recessed passenger seats but might interfere slightly with the front end of other Mustang rear seats. This offset post cannot be used in any of the Mustang frame-mounted driver backrest kits that are made for the Harley-Davidson® FLHT, FLTR and FLHR models. It is not recommended for seats on which the driver backrest is built into the passenger seat such as the Honda 1100 Sabre; Kawasaki Vulcan 900, and 1500 Classic and Nomad.
Seat Construction
All questions regarding your shopping experience on the store and the payment process.
What is “split-foam” construction?
The term simply refers to the look of one style of seats that has the appearance of being made from two parts (a solo seat and a passenger seat) but which is really constructed on a single baseplate. The foam for seats with this look has been split in the middle to give it a two-piece appearance.
Does Mustang use gel in the seats?
No, Mustang does not use gel in our motorcycle seats. We manufacture our seats with the very best controlled-density, polyurethane foam possible. To put it simply, gel does not compress—it just changes its shape. Foam compresses (what you need your Mustang seat to do) while gel displaces (imagine a tube of toothpaste). Gel may be suitable for a very high-pressure application in a limited area such as bicycle seats or soles of shoes. However, to be fully supported and all-day comfortable, your posterior needs and deserves the cushioning of Mustang foam.
Does Mustang offer seats in different colors and stitch patterns?
Mustang offers many custom options for the seats we make. If you see a seat and/or accessory that you would like different
Why does Mustang use vinyl seat covering?
Vinyl has the durability to resist all weather conditions better than other materials. It does not fade and requires practically no maintenance.
