If your looking for comfort you should get a seat like mine.. It is the most comfortable seat I have ever been on.. My wife doesnt really like hers keeps telling me to get a softer fender but my G/F dont mind so...

I see a few guys in this thread have bikes with a Corbin Hollywood Solo.

How do you like it?

Its hard bottomed and has heavy felt fabric covering on it.
Its very comfortable, and unlike some folks here....I like the look, its exactly what I was after. Here is the only pic I have of the bottom.

Thanks for the pic, I really like the fact that they lined the underside to protect the fender unlike stock HD seats I have seen, that look like they are designed to damage your fenders, LOL. Looks like it is a well made piece. I totally dig the look, been looking for this seat since I saw a similar one on someone's Street Bob on a youtube video a while back... Very old school and it really looks killer on your bike, especially with that wicked sissy bar.

I just ordered the seat today, can't wait to get ikt on my ride. :-)

I wonder what your bike would look like with one of these 2 seat S-Bar combos on it (yeah, other members are gonna HATE it, LOL.....wait till they all see my new grip tassels, ha ha..)

Well, after nearly 2000 miles clocked on this seat since picking it up, I have to say..... OUCH! Your impressions are exactly on the nose. The ribbing on the seat kinda prevents any sliding back, but the lack of back support has gotten unbearable for me. Seems all of my weight is balanced on my tail bone, which after 100 miles or so, becomes so painful, that coupled with the miserable rear suspension on the bike, makes my eyes tear when I hit a medium to large bump in the road. I have since pailed this seat in lieu of installing an OEM seat from an 08 Dyna Glide Custom. Looks great IMO and, while not exactly cushy, provides ample back support and the added width is a plus as well. Was like getting a new bike when I first put it on. When I have the extra cash, I will be getting one of these though for serious comfort:

(not the dyna model pictured, but similar)

Take a look at the Roland Sands seats for Dynas.
Look retro but have a much better updated style IMO.

I doubt you will get a reply to your question about the seat...This thread is almost 5 1/2 years old and the OP has not been on the site in about 2 1/2 years.
