Default Best seat to turing?

I'm looking for the most comfortable seat for long rides, especially for the passenger, in a 2012 Road King Classic. The options I’m currently considering are:

-Harley HAMMOCK seat: http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...passenger-seat
-Harley ROAD ZEPPELIN seat: http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...djustable-seat
-Mustang super-touring seat: http://www.mustangseats.com/Category/Super-Touring


Did anyone tried one or more of those and can advise me?

Thank you.

You forget the Sundowner...You should see if you can try it out at your dealer because they are all different and you may not be able to return them...I hear the Zepplin is very comfortable but bulky so if you are not tall it may be too wide.

I have the sundowner deep bucket on my sg and I really like it. The wife doesnt. She wants the road zepplin which looks like it would be very comfy. but I dont like the way it looks on my bike. So I told her they dont make 1 to fit my bike.

Try several, find the one that fits YOU.
As for me and Passenger, Sundowner is great.

I had a Road Zepplin I kept after selling my triGlide. I put is on my 2012 Road King and it looked like a barcalounger strapped on there. I took it off and sold it, have now odrered a Hammock seat.
Raod Zepplin was comfortable.....but to my eye looked silly on the Road King.

Corbin Touring seat. Good options for customizing, too.

My stock seat...... 5k miles (not a lot, but a lot for 6 months)...... No complaints. I'm the one that likes the fit of walmart jeans better than Levi's!

I have the sundowner on a 2012 FLHX and my wife really likes that seat. I however am not all that into it, it sits me up higher and is pretty wide. I am currently looking for options to that seat, something we can both agree on. I have been looking at the Mustang wide tripper with backrest and the passenger pillion. I was considering having the sundowner lowered and narrowed on the rider section and lowered on the passenger pillion, but I guess that is not an option. Don't wan't to lower the front without lowering the rear, I hate the looks of a seat that puts the passenger a lot higher than the rider. Good Luck and happy hunting.

Most comfortable seat is Russel day long, next for me is Corbin dual tour. Both pretty ugly though?
