C&C Sport Touring seat with a backrest...

Did a 1400 mile ride awhile back with the regular sport tour seat without the backrest and was fine with it but would like a backrest...

Russell Day Long did it for me. I tried a lot of different seats and didn't think it was possible to ride more than 2 hours without butt burn. after the seat I was able to ride from Evanston Wyoming to Home in one day without any pain.

The seat adds height and moved me back from the tank. The wings have a suspension type support that provides coverage for the riders and passengers buttocks making the ride great and comfortable

know what you are talking about.

Upgraded my stock seat to Sundowner. Better comfort for passenger, but shoved my nuts into the tank.

Got a Hammock, and not only was the ride and comfort much better but if gave me some comfort room by moving me back just enough.

Side benefit is that we no longer get that jarring shock up the spine if the suspension bottoms out. Can easily ride through 2 tanks of fuel....ahhhha.

Do yourself a big favor and check out the Road Sofa by Saddlemen Seats. You won't find a more comfortable saddle.

I'm a short guy at 5' 13" I'm on a solo Corbin seat with it cutout in the butt to allow me to set 2" back in the saddle. It works for me and my legs.

I'm 6'3, 215 and I have a Corbin Solo with backrest and a passenger pillion for when the wife rides with me. 600 mile are now an easy day.
