Mustang seat for America/SM

Does anyone have or know someone who has tried the new Mustang seat for the America/Speedmaster (manufacturer's web page)?

The price is pretty steep, but looking at review for other bikes (including some Thunderbird owners on this forum) they seem pretty good.

I am planning on doing some touring with this bike at some point and I don't think that the stock seat is going to cut it for consecutive days of long rides. The stock seat tends to push me forward into the gas tank and make my pants ride up my waist. Lower back discomfort goes away after getting off the saddle and moving around for a few minutes, like when gassing up. I'm 5'11" and 180~ lbs.

Also I'd like to hear what some of you guys are using for saddlebags and windscreens for extended trips. I have the roadster screen and oem saddlebags but neither really suited for multi-day rides.

seat

I have a 2015 america LT and the first thing I done was took off the stock wind screen and replaced it with a dart screen, and for the seat I use a airhawk seat pad. I had a mustang seat on my vulcan that was great, but this airhawk works better and cost less, I also put a drivers back rest that really helps.0:)

I had a Mustang seat on a Honda I had and it was very good,but they were 5 years too late bringing one out for the America for me.I got a Corbin that I'm very happy with.Also Saddlemen make seats for our bikes.I'd check all the options.

Is the dart screen really that effective on the highway? I was thinking of either getting lowers or a new screen altogether.
I can't help you with the dart fly screen, but a set of lowers made a world of difference with my 18" tall triumph roadster screen. To be the most effective, I think it is important to get longer ones (mine are 15" long) and not the little bat wings. Fast Eddie has mounting hardware. I've been on several excursions with this set up and am very happy with it.
