You will find mixed reviews on anything from gel, to Corbin to "others" but NONE other than positive on a Mustang. Even given the price, most are sorry they didn't do it sooner, INCLUDING me!!!

I have had two different Mustang seats (wide touring and fastback) on my 800 and both have been great to me. My wife's honda came with a Corbin, and I would not recommend it.

Since "Which kind of mustang seat?" should be your next questions, I say it depends on the style you like and who rides on the bike. I very rarely have a passenger and like the lower profile of the fastback. it is just as comfortable for the driver as the wide touring, but an inch or so shorter and an inch or so narrower. But, if you will have a passenger for any trip more than across town, the pillion on the wide touring is MUCH better. If money is not an option, invest in one with a backrest. I've ridden on a VTX with a driver's backrest and it was NICE!

That's part 2... you GOTTA get the backrest! It's unimaginably different to ride with it... whether it's the look you were originally after, it's SO comfortable, if you're like me you'll "modify" the look you were after pretty quick!

I recommend trying riding WITH it, then take it off and see how long it takes before you want it back again!

And it's instantly tool-free removable, so for the days you want that stripped down look, it' just pops off!

Well everyone, I took a vacation down to Florida. On the way to the everglades my top carburetor hose busted and thankfully I did not burn my legs. I made a home made hose that worked that let me ride since the kawasaki dealers did not have the hoses.

Long story short I pulled the entire air system apart and noticed that there was a mice nest in my bike the whole time, no wonder why the performance was like that.

I am still not getting the full 50-55 MPG. I have fiddled with the idle stick and have made the idle faster and slower but it does not improve the MPG. There is no gas on or in the air filter assembly, leaks or anything of that sort. I tend to blame the problem on the carburetor.

I need to post some pics on here.

jeffs99vulcan · 06-25-2009

Well boys... going camping next week, and it's been a busy week getting ready for it! Keep the thread alive (if you don't hear from me before I leave) and look forward to some open-carb surgery when I get back, because I'll have nothing much going on for the rest of the month... should give me PLENTY of time to anaesthetize my poor little 800!!!
