Mustang Seats Offers BMW R nineT Custom Two-Up Saddle

Nice to see Mustang seats are not relying on empty marketing blabber as they introduce their new BMW R nineT seats. Instead of making all sorts of claims that are more or less hard to verify, bragging and using big words, Mustang simply says that "being a purist doesn't mean you have to compromise comfort." And in our books, this modest way of putting things weighs heavier than most other presentations.

If anything, Mustang has been rather reserved as far as the aftermarket seats for BMW bikes are concerned. The R nineT is, so far, the only Beemer that gets such a treat from Mustang, with no word on the former Bavarian machine (R1200GS) yet.

An affordable upgrade for the comfort of your soft parts

We somehow expected the Mustang Vintage Solo seat to be more expensive, but for $259 (equivalent to €230), we guess this one will be selling quite well.

The Vintage Solo seat is 12" (30.5 cm) wide and sports a classic look that integrates perfectly with the R nineT's lines. It is manufactured with Mustang's medium-density foam laid on a marine-grade fiberglass baseplate.

It is a direct replacement, plug-and-play unit with powder-coated steel mounting brackets and polyurethane bumpers for an even more plush ride. The seat weighs 7 pounds (3.2 kg) and will effortlessly fit 2014 and 2015 BMW R nineT machines.

If you want to provide the best comfort for your passenger, Mustang has the right item for your BMW R nineT. For $159 (€143) you can add a pillion seat to your R nineT, providing 7.5" (19cm) of plush width in looks matching those of the Vintage Solo.

Since these seats are direct, bolt-on add-ons for the BMW, we can expect that they will also fit after installing other aftermarket custom parts. After all, this is exactly why BMW built de R nineT, right?
