Default Widely glide 2012 seat options

I know this has been asked a ton of times but can't seem to find a suggestion that would encompass me.

Looking for a solo seat, I'm 5'7" 145lbs with fairly log legs so I have no problem with the forward controls. Also have back issues so would like something with support and not interested in a back rest.

Would love reviews on what you may be sitting on on your bike ??? I have read the mfgs website for mustangs and le perlas but am looking for some reviews. Seems to be that the mustang is an inch or so taller ?? I don't want to be any taller.

Thanks so much !!!

No offense HrdNox, but I'd have to disagree with you. I had bikergel in a seat once and it didn't add much comfort in my opinion. All is seem to do was insanely burn my *** unless I kept it covered in the sun. I vowed never to get gel again. Just my opinion/experiences.

On another note I find the stock seat to be comfortable up to about 200 mile riding. Over that and I am looking for a break. Been on a few longer runs lately and can't seem to justify buying a new seat.

I have a Regal Duke for 2 up and a Lepera Daytona for by myself...the Lepera is great for bar hopping, but not so good on trips...Looking at getting a Corbin Hollywood Solo for longer rides with no passenger...

Now I'm looking at the Corbin Hollywood solo just not sure I care for the looks of the seam towards the back. Went on my longer ride ever this weekend about 100 miles and a fair amount if windy freeway and am really on the hunt for the perfect seat now.

I recently switched to a sicksaddle. After couple hundred miles, it's defiantly more comfortable than stock IMO. Ed will make it to your liking. He can adjust the reach or stance, add gell, memory foam, vinyl, leather whatever. You can see pics of mine here.

Gel filled C&C all day long. I love it. It's a little wider and supportsa little bit of the back of your leg, so not all the pressure is on your *** only. Don't have to get the pillion, but if you do, it goes on and off really fast.
