I've had 3 Mustang seats and currently have approx. 31K on my Nomad seat and it still looks like new. I have a Corbin Young Guns on my 04 Streak with approx 5K and love it but your passenger isn't going to like it more than a couple miles. I believe they also have a seat for the Streak simular to the Kawi F&S but I've not sat on it. The riding position on the Corbin seems be just a little deeper and further back than the Mustang. Mustang comfort can't be beat. I've made several 500 mile days on the Nomad with the Mustang. Longest ride on the Streak/Corbin is 250 and it was comfortable all the way. Sorry about the long post but I've got something over 45K setting up in a Mustang seat in the last 4 years and the only thing I can say in the negative is that the seat is just a little thick (wide) in the front. That is partly because of the 30" inseam (short legs). Good luck in your choice. John

nomadrider1,

Thanks for the information I'll take a look at the seats that you mentioned.
