VLOG: First ride on the Mustang Tripper Solo seat

I'm riding the Rebel 1100 for another work commute, and I'm trying out the Mustang Tripper Solo seat today. Skip around with the chapter markers below.

I wanted to extend a big thanks and shout-out to‪@ontherebel11‬ and ‪@therideofalifetime‬ for loaning me this seat to review and to see if it helps my Rebel seating situation. My first impressions about the seat are:

(PRO): it's wider and flatter than the original Honda seat and also the Honda "custom forward" seat
(MEH): the seat height seems to be lower than the Honda seats due to the deep bucket
(CON): my reach to the handlebars feels slightly farther than with the Honda "custom forward" seat
(???): the front edge of the seat sits ON the tank, so I'm concerned about scuffing the paint

I need to put more miles and butt time on it to form a proper opinion. I'll try to take a 2-hour road trip with it to see how it works out compared to the Honda seats. I'll try it with and without my AirHawk seat pad .
