Default Best touring seat?

Hi everybody. What is the most comfortable seat I can get for my Road Glide Ultra? I know that everyone has different opinions, but would like to see if there is one that stands out. Thanks.

Instead of a seat, get an Airhawk and you will ride in comfort for a lot less.

I use a Corbin with and without a AirHawk. Without on short under 150 rides, over 150
I add the airhawk for extra comfort. Has worked out well for 6 - 700 days. I found all the stock saddles I rode on to be too soft. The problem is what works for me may not work for you. Also you can not try out a saddle in the driveway, you have to ride on it for an hour or two to see if it works for you. Another thing to think about is your riding position, by adding 10 inch bars I changed how I sit and feel. So to add to your question, think about bars, back rest, highway pegs and saddle. Even your boot heal will change your leg height and seating position adding or subtracting from your comfort,

I truly is not a simple question, Good luck in finding your answer,

JIM

Get one of these:




1. Easy to put on if you're doing a long day. Easy to take off if you're putting around town.

2. You don't have to spend a TON of cash trying seats until you find one that works for you.

-- The trick is to let a lot of the air out of it... so it looks like it's almost too flat. Totally got rid of tailbone pain for me.
I went from "stop every 100 miles" to "stop when i need gas"

But, if you wan't a different seat, I would suggest doing the Harley "Try before you buy" ones as a starting point.

I use the OEM "Hammock" which is heated (for the cool/cold weather) and I also use the H-D Circulator covers in warm/hot weather.
They really do a great job of keeping your butt and back dry.
