Question New seat for my 2010 Road king

Hi guys,
Here is my problem..
I bought a Road king 2010 recently, and there is this horrible stock seat on it.
My wife and I just spend the last 3 days riding almost all day long, and I definitively wanna change the seat.
I am 6'1 (185pounds) and my wife 5'9 tall (180 pounds), so after 30 minutes or so,my back and legs are painfull,i can not fell my *** after 1 hour driving,and my wife's *** is the same.

Now,i am wondering which seat i am gonna buy...
I am looking for a solo seat who will push be back and down when I am alone,and add a COMFY pad for my wife when she is with me.
1st: Harley davidson Low Profile (not the brawler)
http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...16-52000057--1

2nd: C&C Solo seat with a X-large pillion (but pillion doesn't seems thick..)

3rd choice: Le pera Bare bones with the Deluxe pillion (seems thick and almost 11" large)

and should I order seats with gel?
Thank you for your time guys.

Ps; Sorry for my basic english,still learning...

I went to the HD Air Zeppelin -- after a lot of shopping. It's the most cushioned and most supportive seat on the market. It's also the widest seat 23" or 24" with a wide, high roll across the back and hips -- which raises some concerns for passengers on the pillion. Pillion is air adjustable too.

Air adjustable, it's nice to be able to shift cushioning while riding. This changes seating position, relieves "hot spots." I've done 1000 mile days (Iron Butt "Saddle Sore") on this saddle and it's perfection.

It's HUGE and looks like a flotation device -- which works for me on a full-dress touring set up.

You are allowed to have as many seats as you fancy! So for example if the current seat is fine around town and you like the looks of it then keep it. For maintaining marital bliss on longer trips, any suitable factory Touring seat will fit, as an alternative, plus there are aftermarket options. A trip to your local dealer should let you see some other seats, also I read that there are dealers who may even let you try one on your bike.

There are also zillions of seat threads in here, you're not alone, so get yourself a long drink and have a browse, if the shops are shut!

It was a great option until I installed my drop seat kit. I still have mine, but it has a crack in the foam. I'd be willing to sell it to you if you're interested. (no pics on hand, I'm @ work)
