What ever one fits YOU BEST!!!
There is NO SEAT MADE that fits everyone!!

I have had great luck with HD's Sundowner & Corbin's (had a couple built to fit me @ there Hollister, Ca Location)

I put a sundowner on my FLHX and it works very well for the wife also. It was less money than some of the others.

I agree with SoCal. Whatever fits you the best is what you go with. Have an 07 RKC and replace the orignal seat with a sundowner just before i took a long trip this summer. Best investment i made. My behind never felt so good an a long trip.

Agree with above. I can say that the Lepera Monterey that I had Lepera customize exactly for me is hand's down the best seat I have ever had on any of my bikes. I had back surgery years ago, so riding anything with a crappy seat for long periods of time is out of the question.

I had Rich's in Seattle customizethe stock seat on my ultrafor me and add Gel pads, just before I went on my five week 10,000 mile ride this summer andthe seatfeels great. The first thing people ask when I tell them about my vacation is that my *** must of hurt, but it never did. I don't think any off the shelf seat can feel as good as one made just for you.

Looked at a bunch for my Classic, I will second the Corbin. It is pricey but have not regretted it.

just put a sundowner on my road glide and took an 800 mile trip, about 13 hours, from Denver to Sedona, AZ. No issues whatsoever. For my money, a great seat.

I think this is an excellent question.My only experience is with Corbin and Mustang. IMHO, of the two,Corbin has themost comfortable seat. Mustang was running a very close second, but I bought the Mustang the second time around because Corbin was such a pain in the assss to deal with. On my 06, I kept the original stockseat but I noticed in the second year of riding the seat was beginning to breakdown and I was getting uncomfortable. On my 08 Ultra, the seat seems fine right now, but I don't have many miles on her yet.
