New Mustang Seat for the Harley Davidson 500 and 750 Street
by Editor on 01/09/15
TAKING IT TO THE STREETS
Mustang Makes Seats For 500 & 750 Streets
Mustang believes in enhancing your riding experience, so instead of offering a base model seat for an entry level machine like Harley-Davidson's new 500cc and 750cc Street models, we went top shelf! A trio of Mustang's popular seats Fastback, Vintage Touring and Vintage Touring with backrest are now available.
Our seats for the 500 and 750 Street are more than replacements they are upgrades to your riding experience. You can now take your Harley from the street to the highway... and beyond, says Mustang Seats Marketing Manager Marilyn Simmons. "The first all-new motorcycle platform that Harley has introduced in 13 years makes the Street something special and we have been planning our replacement seat since we first saw the 500 and 750 prototypes on display at the EICMA show in Milan in 2013.
Rather than a stripped down, bare bones approach to the Street seats, Mustang opted to pull out all the stops for the Fastback seat: contrasting stitching, reinforced welting and mesh inserts are among the styling updates made specifically for the Street seat. However, comfort still remains the hallmark of any Mustang seat, so this saddle feels as good as it looks, adds Simmons. The Fastback places the rider about 1inch back for the ideal riding position."
Riders can set up their Street for a low, lean look with the streamlined Fastback or go for even more comfort with our Touring seat option, Simmons continues. For longer rides, the 12.5" wide one-piece Vintage Touring seat sets the rider back and slightly up compared to the stock seat to better position your legs for comfortable cruising. The 9 inch wide passenger seat ensures that your companion will also be comfortable and happy for the long haul.
The addition of a driver backrest on the Vintage Touring seat provides the ultimate in comfort and versatility. The fully adjustable driver backrest features several height adjustments, pivots to the driver's back angle and removes easily without tools. Again, the 9 inch wide passenger seat ensures that your companion will also be comfortable for the long haul.
Part numbers for Street 500/750 seats:
76420 Fastback
76421 One-piece Vintage Touring
79786 One-piece Vintage Touring with Driver Backrest
In addition to the new Street 500 and 750, Mustang also offers replacement seats for virtually all late model Harley-Davidson motorcycles. For more details, please contact Mustang Customer Service at 413-668-1190 or 800-243-1392 or click here:

Mustang Seats Low-Slung seat for Harley Davidson Softtail
by Editor on 12/18/14
GETTING THE RUNAROUND
Mustang's Low-Slung Seat Goes Solo For Softails
image courtesy of Mustang Seats
Mustang Seats created some rumbling around the V-Twin industry when they introduced the lowest, leanest seat in the line-up for Harley-Davidson Dyna and FL models this past summer. Proudly made in the USA, the new RunAround represented a bold look at motorcycle seating without sacrificing Mustang's legendary reputation for quality. Only one problem - Softail riders wanted the same seat!
"Ask and you shall receive," says Mustang Marketing Director, Marilyn Simmons. "Mustang's designers went back to the drawing board and engineered the lowest, leanest solo seat possible for 2000-2015 Harley standard rear tire Softails." Actually the fitments for FLSTS 2000-2003, FLSTN 2005-up, FLSTSC 2006-2007 and FLSTC 2007-up were plotted on the CAD-CAM machine, but you get the idea. For good measure, they added most of the other 2000-2006 Softails to the mix, including FLST 2006, FLSTC 2000-2006, FLSTF 2000-2006, FLSTSC 2005, FXST 2000-2005, FXSTB 2000-2005 and FXSTS 2000-2005.
"Our combination of New England craftsmanship combined with 21st Century engineering means your RunAround seat looks as incredible as it feels," adds Simmons. "A well-designed baseplate is the key to success, so that was where the engineering team started." A narrow front width of just 10.5" for all the Softail Solo seats works in conjunction with the low profile which keeps the rider styling... without having to sacrificing too much in terms of comfort.
The controlled density polyurethane foam can be poured a little thinner without compromising the comfort, while making for a much thinner seat pad in the process. Made in-house at Mustang's historic Three Rivers, MA facility, the exact angle and density of each seat foam panel is formulated and cast to be soft enough for comfort, but resilient enough to retain its shape and structural integrity for years, according to Simmons.

Homestead Websites: slow loading
by Editor on 12/16/14If you have been trying to view our website and have experienced slow loading I apologize for any inconvenience, but unfortunately it out of my control. Our website provider is performing a data migration and it's taking longer than they expected...
Here's a copy of their Facebook post regarding this issue.
Homestead Websites Start Quote:
"Continued data migration 12/12/2014: We are sorry to announce that due to yesterday's outage in the old data center, and 3rd party routing outages in the last week, the data migration window has been extended by 1 week. We are working to get all accounts moved as quickly as possible. As data completes the transfer, more resources can be allocated to fully restoring and enhancing performance. The engineers believe optimization will continue through the end of the month. Some accounts may continue to see disruption/slowness throughout the month.
On or before Friday 12/19 a new update will be posted with progress. It is not possible to provide a firm date and time for completion as there are too many external variables that can affect the time frame.
We do sincerely apologize for the delay."
End quote.
