Welcome to the Forum from Kansas! The dealership should have test seats you could try.

Great choice in bikes.
I've had Mustang seats on 4 of my last rides.
Never had any comfort issues with any of them.

Great choice 👍 I've got the mustang day tripper which is an improvement over the stock seat.

If you can find a local custom seat maker I always prefer to have a custom seat made for my butt and overall ergonomics. Nothing beats a true custom and I think that is best done in person.

It's not hard to beat a stock Harley seat but to really get an all day fit you need truly custom.

I ride into Corbin for all my Harleys and they make some beautiful stuff but would never buy mail order.

Good luck.
