    I say go Mustang. Very comfortable for both rider and passenger. While it's only for the 02-03's I just bolt the pillion on and don't worry about the rear hook mount. Great price too you can get them for less than half the price as a Corbin. Dosen't look too bad also.

    Many thanks to you Arizona! Sorry it took me so long to respond, but you gave me alot of homework to read. After careful deliberation, I have decided to go with a Mustang. It looks very comfortable and easy to customize for fitment. I think I will add a HD Duce backrest.

    This is gonna be awsome!!!!!

    Next up, 6 degree rake, drag bars and 260.

    No, no, no.....the Corbin DualTour is much better!!  Just kidding but I do love mine which I bought off this site for $350 with the two backrests.

    We have a Corbin Dual Tour and it's a pretty good seat but I think it's more important to relocate those passenger foot pegs. They are up so high it puts all of her weight on her tailbone and, with her knees and thighs up so high it also makes her unstable in her perch. Yamaha makes a relocation kit for use with the stock pipe. I plan to make some footboards for mine that will put her feet in the same position as the Yamaha kit. I could put lower pipes on the thing to lower her feet further but I don't think they need to be much lower than the Yamaha kit moves them. Besides that we're talking about $500 or so for the pipe, $200 for a techlution mixture control and $100-$150 for footpeg relocation to take advantage of the space. The Yamaha kit is only about $75. If I were doing this again I'd forgo the Corbin and just rebuild the passenger seat with more padding and put on the peg relcation kit. (My 2006 came with a 2 piece seat) The footpegs  only need to be moved a couple of inches to make a big difference. Even cheaper is to just get her so drunk she can't feel the hard seat and just tie her to you so she doesn't fall off.
