looking for replacement seat - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

Hi everyone, new poster here.
I bought a 1993 Honda VT100 this summer. The stock seat works ok for me but my wife needs a better one. Any one try and use a different pillion seat or try a total replacement seat that you would recommend.

I just bought a Mustang. It has a driver backrest so it pushed me about 1" closer to tank, Rides great, looks great. expensive

I put a Mustang on mine this summer and love it. It's been a preety busy summer, so I haven't had a chance to log in a long ride, but I can tell it will be great.

Driver and passenger seat is wider. I haven't riden on the passenger seat...but the kids say it's great. I recommend it to anyone. There is also Corbin. I have no experience with them, but I was debating between Mustang and Corbin when I decided to upgrade my seat...got a good deal on Mustang and the rest is history. I love it!

I too replaced the seat on my 2006 Shadow Spirit with a Mustang. Fits well and is comfortable. The passenger gets the wider seat. The drivers is more contoured. A bit pricey at 440.00.

I am among the many who also changed to a Mustang saddle.

My wife and I recently completed a 3,300 mile tour, (one day alone was 600 miles), and she had no problems with the saddle.

Mustang saddle: $400 (+ or -)
Happy passenger: priceless

Sounds like Mustang seats rules.
Thanks for the info.

You'll be happy. I ride everyday to work and it's great. I'm looking forward to a long ride...hopefully soon if I can get some time. Good luck and ride safe.

Get her a memory foam pillow or an air pillow, they work great for the passenger and the pillion will never be as comfortable as the riders seat on long trips.
OR buy a goldwing, my wife loves the back seat.
