Default Riders with the Reach Seat

I am thinking about purchasing a Reach Seat only because it would be better suited for my height. I currently have a Sundowner. It is very comfortable but is a bit wide for me when I go to put my feet down. Question is: How do you rate the comfort of the Reach Seat on long rides?
Thank you for your input

I don't have one but I've heard the Reach Seat will lower you a bit and move you forward but they are firm and not very comfortable. Of course there are some that love them. I've got a Solo Mustang seat but started with a Solo Sundowner that did exactly as you described.

I've been riding a corbin reach seat about four years now. Second corbin I've owned. Another member suggested getiing the flames, they are free, and soften this saddle. Sit this saddle all day, no discomfort.

Other than the fact it is pretty damn ugly, I have put 700 mile days on mine. Wife has rode on the passengar pad for up to 8 hours with little complaints.

I want a more sleak looking seat for my FLHX but I am afraid going to something else would not have the comfort of this seat. Last thing I want to do is go backward on comfort. I am going to stop by C&C next time I am in LA visiting family and see if I cant sit on one of theirs.

I would also give the seat about an 8. Compared to the stock seat, it is a 10 in comfort. The passenger pad is a lot nicer than stock as well.
